Raiding and leadership attitudes.

Crisis forum posts about the alt raid. This is the ALT raid and gkicks are being threatened. On one hand I like holding people accountable but on the other hand I'm scared to mess up!
Everything below is a quote.
I just lost all the info I had typed out for this, so I'm going to try and hit some of the high points of my rage.

realistically this was our only kill shot of the night - every other wipe the boss had at least 6 million health left, with ample opportunity for people to still use consumables (although i agree its unlikely that some of the people you listed would have, they still had time to do so)
i really take more of a hodir hardmode view on this, in that missing the timer by a few seconds is our 1% wipe, and that not using a haste pot on a 1 minute wipe of horrible fail is of vastly less importance - but still a good indicator or how seriously people may be taking the encounter
i think the saddest part of all this is that we actually do have the dps and healing to kill this, but we were consistently getting forced into early wipes due to people simply failing at controlling their add when they were targeted for mutated infection - every time i saw someone running around like a retard i wanted to punch something
this fight is all about movement from sprays, add placement by people targeted and the main tank using appropriate CDs when the raid is taking damage/healer indisposed - if we can fix this it will die
If i had to call anyone out, it would be every last goddamn person who screwed up merging their slime and *** for never using a armour pot on any rotface attempts (its a bit harder to say you're saving that as a tank when it has a 2 minute duration)

Docks will be going out this week when I input DKP. I'm waiting a day or two to let my rage subside so nobody gets buttfucked.

Shut the fuck up ***. I'm going to single you about because you insist on trying to defend yourself rather than simply admitting that you FUCKED UP royally and deciding to fix it. You didn't pot on the 1% wipe....please explain to me how you went 3 full minutes after the hero duration fell off before you died to standing in slime spray that you didn't use a consumable.
***, you went the entire night without using a SINGLE consumable. No strength pot, no haste pot, no armor pot...If I ever see something like that happen again, I will gkick you myself.
I explained little slime mechanics before the fight, after a few pulls, before and after our break, and yelled once or twice every single time I saw one get hauled back into the raid.
People have been spoiled on lol Wrath content. I tried my best to impress upon everyone the severe difficultly of the new content relative to the old. I tried raging, I tried consoling, I tried being calm, I tried joking, I gave breaks for people to watch vids/strats both before and during the raid...but people obviously just didn't get the hint.
Honestly, I would rather just cancel the alt raid altogether than go through all the effort I do simply to have people show up and expect handouts and put all of us through hours and hours of wipes because of the SAME mistakes. MAN THE FUCK UP and take responsibility for your stupid fucking mistakes and fix them. I want to vomit from the amount of RNG blame I hear.
I'm going to spend this week armorying everyone and coming up with a comprehensive list of poor gems, enchants, specs, and glyhps. Be ready for itemized rage sometime on Thursday. I've been trying really really really hard not to do this because it makes me feel like I have to hold people's hands and practically play their characters for them...but it seems that some people just can't be trusted so I have to suspect ALL of you.
***, dc's happen and I can't blame you for that. You did really well for your first exposure to the fight.
***, I understand that emergencies happen randomly and I don't blame you for having to leave. There's no need to apologize and I thank you for the mature and forthcoming way you handled the situation.
