So how is it more chaotic to allow a consensus of three people to boot one person, versus one person being able to boot another, on a whim ?

Hosts have the option to boot players (and do so, often for no reason other than pique at being defeated at a contract). Also, hosts can become obnoxious, and the other players at the table have no option but to suffer, or leave what otherwise would be an enjoyable game. I've also seen the case where a host logs off, but is not automatically disconnected from the table. Would it be possible to add a "Boot host" option, such that if the other three players at the table click it, then the Host is removed from the table ? I see it working like this: - A non-host player clicks [boot host], BBO sets the BootHost flag for that player, and checks the BootHost flags for the other non-host players at the table. - If the other non-host BootHost flags are set, then boot the host. - All BootHost flags at a table would be cleared when the host for that table leaves (either voluntarily or as a result of being booted). - A player's BootHost flag would be cleared when he leaves a table.
