Re: Jiggy's concerns.
While I feel his question to me was answered adequately by others, perhaps it would be something to add to the Venture Captain's section of the 4.2 guide. Just a paragraph about how to address grievances to the VCs/VLs. One "Matt Sucks" might not raise an eyebrow, a whole bunch* on the other hand...

Then let's scale back the example a bit:
Averageguy plays at GM Wellintentioned's table. GM Wellintentioned botches a ruling and costs a player an expensive scroll or some such thing. Averageguy wants to address the issue, but feels a bit timid about it because he already knows how much work the GM puts into running the game and he's worried about coming across as a complainer or hurting the GM's feelings. So he says nothing to the GM (neither at the table nor afterwards).
So instead (we'll assume he either doesn't know he can talk to a VC or thinks that's a disproportionate response) he comes to the boards to ask for advice. But instead of being told what his options are, a bunch of tired GMs who just finished being told how bad they are by Whiner #117 come in and tell him to show more respect to his GM - the GM that Averageguy was already too polite to even confront in the first place.
Sound a little more realistic that way? I hope so, because it's not hypothetical.
We can give tons of advice on how to run games, and how to build characters. Messageboards however are not the best avenue for the learning the "how to act like an adult" skill set. We can show AverageGuy the oasis, but he's got to fill his own bucket.
GM's make mistakes, Players make mistakes. Dealing with it and moving on... isn't a gaming skill, it's a basic "life" skill, and it's something you should be developing outside this venue.
