Is that backfiring, though? You decided that you don’t want to play with that person, so if they are a package deal with other players, then you’re going to lose all of those people no matter what you do.
If you’d rather suffer the one bad player than lose the other people, then you need to understand that dynamic before acting unilaterally. You know, it’s a social thing so you need to actually talk to people.
Hey, I play in D&D games without my bestie no problem. However, I don’t play in D&D games with people who gaslight my bestie in an attempt to ostracise them. If you didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have left.
I’d say that trying to push someone out of the group, then getting kicked out of the group yourself, is a bit of a backfire.
I guess the point is that either way an undesirable gets removed from the group and you wouldn’t have to play with that person anymore. Only, the undesirable might be you. Seems to work as intended.
