My son would have gotten me kicked off of many flights. Although I never had trouble taking my daughter out in public and having her act anything other than exemplary, my son was another story. Many a time I left restaurants or stores because of his behavior. Nothing I ever did stopped his outbursts, but I at least had consideration for the others around me. If my own child's actions annoyed me as his parent, I could see how others would find his behavior abhorrent.
If I had been kicked off a plane thusly, I would have been embarrassed and apologetic, not indignant.
