that it's not ok to kick out a guest from a party

If a guess of one family member has a conflict with another family member but behaves generally in a civilized way, talking to other people. As soon as a small altercation occurs, that guest is told to that he's not welcome and to get out of the house while a group of people walking towards him pushing him to the door not even allowing him to pick up their coat from a room (the host went to get it).

AIBU to think that it's very exagerrated? What WOULD justify this reaction? A physical fight?

Why should a nob be permitted to stay just because he's talking to other people? The host doesn't want him there, the host can kick him out.

If a number of people were shoving him out he sounds like a right tosser.

Anyone involved in an altercation should be removed for the safety of everyone else.

What makes this guest a potential exception?

RedHelenB · 14/11/2021 17:42

Up to the host at the end of the day.

Notimeforaname · 14/11/2021 17:44

They did something to deserve it.

Holly60 · 14/11/2021 17:44

Completely up to the host to decide who they would like at their party

FrankButchersDickieBow · 14/11/2021 17:45

Hosts prerogative to have whoever they do or do not want, in their home.

Ozanj · 14/11/2021 17:45

Depends on what the altercation was and the history.

AreYouRightThereSkippy · 14/11/2021 17:45

Yabu. It's totally up to the host I think. It obviously bothered them enough to chuck them out.

MaisyMary77 · 14/11/2021 17:45

Totally up to the host.

AMostExcellentStick · 14/11/2021 17:46

Sounds like there’s history. Just tell the story, much easier than theoreticals!

AndTime · 14/11/2021 17:46

Define small altercation.... fairly sure removal was justified.

MedusasBadHairDay · 14/11/2021 17:46

"behaves generally in a civilized way"
"a small altercation"

Sounds like they were a real delight.

Theunamedcat · 14/11/2021 17:47

Small altercation? As in physical?

justswaying · 14/11/2021 17:47

Well no one should have to be pushed to the door unless they're being belligerent and refusing to leave

ShowMeTheSugar · 14/11/2021 17:48

Up to the host really. Im not sure why the person speaking to other guests civilly has any bearing on it?

It sounds like someone has been verbally abusive and made to leave after upsetting another guest - fair enough imo if that is the case.

cakewench · 14/11/2021 17:49

If I have an invited guest who has been part of a 'small altercation' and I feel I don't want them there anymore, I can absolutely ask them to leave and if other guests want to help facilitate that, they're welcome to do so. It's my house, why should I suffer entertaining someone I don't want around?

I guarantee there's more to this story .

Whereismumhiding3 · 14/11/2021 17:49

You are talking in such vague terms. But have indicated the guest had an altercation with someone and was asked to leave but did not. So other family members guided them out and collected their coat fit them to go . I hope they left quietly once outside .

If someone was causing trouble at my house, so badly that I had to ask them to leave, then I would want them out quickly and quietly ASAP .

dapsnotplimsolls · 14/11/2021 17:49

Up to the host.

Nyxly · 14/11/2021 17:49

Ita going to depend on the whole situation.

I am guessing the altercation wasn't small or was the proverbial straw.

As the person was invited then asked to leave. They were obviously wanted there, then the host changed their mind.

girlmom21 · 14/11/2021 17:50

Sounds like you're minimising to manipulate the vote.

LittleOwl153 · 14/11/2021 17:51

Why were they both invited to begin with if they can't be civil to I e another. The host should have only invited one. Next time maybe they will.

Topseyt · 14/11/2021 17:51

It is totally up to the host. And "small altercation" could mean absolutely anything.

Why do you think a "small altercation" should be inoffensive? Totally depends what it was and what was said.

Was it you who was ejected?

Seafog · 14/11/2021 17:51

Host rules

PickAChew · 14/11/2021 17:52

Did you piss someone off, OP?

Jabvribt · 14/11/2021 17:53

There’s someone within DHs family who regularly does this; they are fine with others but often argue with one particular person and they are the one that starts it so we ask that person to leave immediately once they start
