I log in, the sanc is dead, everyone's shouting LFS! LFS! but there are no squadleaders. I start a squad, despite being .15 CR.
Several people join, and they ask what CR I am. One says he has CR and will lead. I turn over Leadership to NecroTrader, because I need BEP more than CEP.

We head to Solsar, picking up a full squad. Necro is mostly silent, I try to lead the squad a little by requesting help at Aton. He plays around with a Deliverer. After two minutes Aton is crawling, and is a huge lagfest. The tenth squad member, CLERIC says all the deadweight should be kicked from the squad after I tell him I refuse to go to Aton.
My 56k could not handle Aton.
I tell the squad I'm going to go resecure Mont.
I make it to Mont and skirt an enemy tower. I'm at the top of a ridge, and radar picks up a red blip near me. I look almost straight down, and sure enough, a Vanu soldier is standing there. I fill him full of Gauss ammo, and get

125 XP!!!!!
WHAT???

Then I realize, I've been booted from the squad! What? I tell Necro, what the heck? Why did you boot the leader of the squad? He claims he is the leader, some leading he's done. I am then put on his ignore list, instantly. I message another squadmember, he agrees with me. I then go into Mont, and resecure. There was only one other NC in the whole building. Frustrated, I log off.

Is it just me, or is this retarded? I start a squad, give a guy command, and he boots me. Either I'm mistaken or that's incredibly rude.
