As long as it is clear that they do have connection and are interacting in the chat, then this is necessary. You should take care not to block someone for something that is not their fault. If it's just sporadic, that's fine. Intermittent breakages in the connection is fine. What I'm talking about is people who deliberately join the chat, leave and repeat over and over every 5 seconds and essentially flood the message area with a long line of "X left the chat" and "X joined the chat". That's bad. Yes I agree, it is annoying, pointless and the user deserves to be kicked if it is purposeful. You should make sure though, don't be trigger-happy on that kick button.
