I immediately /ignored, logged out, removed my GS addon, (Which I had installed for reference purposes), and vowed to never join a raid requesting GS minimums anymore. Which is inevitably, their loss.
Gear Score is a very powerful tool, and like a hammer, is very effective when used properly. It's the idiots running around with their hammers in their mouths and slamming their faces into the ground that is the real problem. Saying the hammer is stupid and refusing to use it is just as bad. :P
EDIT: a very powerful tool when used to correct typos.

On Topic: They need to make /qq an official emote, already.
Yes.
Ever notice how typically the only people who complain about the addon are those who are excluded by its use?
No, actually I haven't.
I do have noticed, however, how proponents of gearscore tend to be immature, epeen-obsessed kiddies.
I've noticed people against it and people for it are both just as stupid as fan-boys for console systems and apparently can't listen to logic or reason....

GearScore is not good. GearScore is not bad. GearScore is a tool and therefore amoral. Just like "Guns don't kill people," GearScore does not prevent people from entering raids.

Man, you're really making a lot of good points today...
My Boomkin (RIP) was denied a raid spot for ICC 10-man even though he'd downed half the bosses. Instead the raid went with a hunter in half PVP gear. The other half of his gear was stacking Expertise. And even though he obviously didn't know his class, and I regulary out DPS'd him in that instance, he had the better GS so he got the invite.
My point?
Gearscore COULD have been a good tool. However too many people made it the be-all end-all of who got invites. The result is any number of mentally deficient players, people who don't know their own class, in gear they don't really deserve.
And I think it is safe to say that come Cata, when things like CC and strategy are needed for standard heroics, a LOT of those guys that cared so much about GS aren't going to be able to cut it.
This one's good too. What can I say about your story? You landed on some moron RL. God knows there're a giant bunch of them just waiting to see their raid wipe without understand why. I wouldn't really blame it on the add-on, I'd blame it on that git.

man the gearscore should be removed.
In early king expansion we have a little pally in our guild with junk gear. He tanked anything. NEVER died and knew his @#$% about pally tanking. HE IS AWESOME.
his gear score at that time (I don't think there was such a thing) would have not got him into anything.
Blue 5man dungeon and quest stuff. But he was the best tank I have ever seen.
And like I said he would have shouted something like 3500 gs and never got an invite to anything even though he is the best. Of course he has 2 of the best healers in the game with him :)
