I would recommend never playing with that GM again, or playing with any other GM because honestly they're all bad. Just spend all your time on the forums posting elaborate character builds you'll never play and explaining to everyone how they are objectively wrong to be playing any class other than wizard.

My GM dared to have an enemy successfully attack me and actually inflicted a point of damage on my 12th level barbarian. Should I kick my GM in the testicles until my foot bleeds?
This is why I'm ready to fight as a GM. 'Cause when my players are melted to goo, turned to stone, wiped off the planet, plane shifted to hell, hurled into the atmosphere, or balefully teleported into space, one needs to understand how to use a sword.
Or...your players could thank you. That seems to happen more often, and I'm not sure why...

The sad thing is, many years ago, I actually played in a D&D game where a player made a similar argument and intended to be taken seriously. Not as extreme, but he was royally pissed that one (only one person) in the party had almost been taken to half max XP, and that all of us took some damage (most of it no more than 10 points or so when we were around 12-14th level). I remember this conversation with him...
Me: None of us were even at risk of dying. Taking damage in D&D is kind of what you're supposed to do.
Guy: *ignoring this point* And you! You had to cast like four healing spells! ((The spells he was referring to was one spell for each member of the party -- three cure light and one cure serious. If it had been Pathfinder, I probably could have burned a channel energy use and not even cast any spells at all.))
Me: I'm a cleric. That's kind of what I'm supposed to do after a fight. And I've got loads of spells left.
Guy: *ignoring this point as well* IT'S NOT FAIR!
So yeah... sadly... there are people who have this attitude that if the party takes damage, the GM is doing something wrong.

You should bump your speed (Swift foot rage power 3x) and get the feats Fleet and Run. That way when the GM threatens you with a d20 you can just leave. That will show that horrible GM that he can't intimidate you with an under CR encounter.
Channel your inner Brave Sir Robin.
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!

Some of my players (who are also co-players in D&D game) get to whine "We all gone die! GM wants to kill us all! We're doomed!" every time anyone in the part drops to half hp. Abyssal gods save us if anyone actually drops to 0... So much lamentation.
Thankfully they do not start arguing. At best they start to look for loopholes and omissions from their own or GM side to save their (not yet seriously) endangered bacon from the fire.

Notice how nobody marked this post as their favorite?

If getting favourites is the only thing you live for on these boards, then you are indeed a shallow soul.

Sometimes, just sometimes, I miss some "dislike" button, yeah.

Usually the "favorite" is used when someone agrees with someone else. You said the OPTIONS wasn't being funny and I was just pointing out the fact that nobody marked favorite on yours so people must find it funny because that's all it is.
I don't live for faves on these boards or any board for that matter.
