So further to my previous post about finally braving LFR I went ahead and did it after lunch. And I did the four bosses, though it was a bit shaky at first.
So what are my thoughts? Well, I think a hell of a lot of WoW players are assholes. At least, they are online, I imagine they are internet tough guys. For example:

Just one such gem. A huge shitstorm broke out when one of the top Ding hunters rolled on a tier token despite already having the damn item as he did it for ‘justice’, why should low dps get anything when he is so freaking great. Never mind the low dps is down to them needing the gear he feels HE deserves all of. Lovely.
But you know what, I stuck it out and ingored the raid chat for the most part. We wiped on Morchok, mainly because people didn’t run to the crystal, but that was the only thing that really went wrong, depsite various people saying things were ”fail” even when we were downing a boss. I am really begining to get a healthy dislike for the term Fail btw.
I was worried about my DPS somewhat, but look:

There is little old me at number 7. Ok, that probably isn’t great DPS, not that I know if it is or not, but that means there were 10 people behind me, so meh, will do for me.
And the best part? Gloves of Dying Light and Mosswrought Shoulderguards are now mine!
