Kicking someone out of a gaming group is a really difficult thing to do. The problem is that you ARE saying you do not want to play with them anymore, and are often saying that you don't want to associate with them either. Any method of doing this almost has to end in hurt feelings. The two best method, if you can manage it somehow is to get the player in question to drop the group. That allows that player to save face by making it look like it was that players idea, not yours. If that is not possible, then a short conversation between the GM and the player saying "you are no longer welcome here" is probably best. Very unpleasant, but any direct method will be unpleasant.
Yes our the groups I have played in have kicked out two players in the past 15 years. Both times the GM talked to all the other players individually first, waited a while, talked again, then had the final talk with the player in question. It helped me understand why banishment was considered a punishment on par with death in some cultures.
