In Guild Chat…
Me: “You will get a chance to address a crowd of the most fanatical, bloodthirsty and certifiably insane people on this planet.”
Me: So…like guild chat, right?
Guild: *crickets chirp*
Me: Well I thought it was funny.
Guild: *silence*

While healing Grim Batol, we got a “wrath baby” tank who over aggrod. Even worse he’d run around kiting mobs that didn’t need to be kited. All the while he was getting hit in the back. To make matters worse he was hurling insults left and right; needlessly commenting on each trash pulls DPS.
Being in a mostly guild run we quickly grew tired of his comments. The pace was brisk and in spite of the tanks idiotic tanking things were going relatively smoothly. After one trash pull, he began throwing a fit about the DPS on the pull. We refuted his comments and he demanded we kick him so he didn’t get the deserter debuff when leaving. We refused. Subsequently he pulled a huge trash pull and dropped like a rock. We all died.
“Nice heals.” he sarcastically quipped.
I looked at it for a moment taking in what had just happened. I looked back at the damage log. Too much damage in a 10 second time frame for anyone to have healed. Carefully choosing my words…
I don’t have a heal for stupid. Sorry.
He left party…

This Real ID fiasco just keeps getting better and better. The ESRB replying to the 1000+ emails complaining about Blizzard’s Real ID informing them Blizzard had recanted unintentionally used the “reply all” feature. This effectively shared the 1000+ email addresses with all 1000+ people who had complained.
The deepest irony here is the last paragraph of the letter ( you can read it in its entirety at WoW.com):
ESRB, through its Privacy Online program, helps companies develop practices to safeguard users’ personal information online while still providing a safe and enjoyable video game experience for all. We appreciate your taking the time to contact us with your concerns, and please feel free to direct any future inquiries you may have regarding online privacy to our attention.
So…if you haven’t drawn the connections yet… 1000+ people complaining about Blizzard sharing their personal information had their email address shared to 1000+ strangers. Nice.
The ESRB of course was mortified one of their employees had done this and profusely apologized.
