Henry Weinhards root beer is the best. Ever. No question.
That may be, but as I am on the East Coast, it would cost me about $11 for a six-pack, plus $7 shipping. $3 for a 12 oz root beer is a bit much.

With a small group of players, there's always the old standby of the (unspoken, of course) threat to up and leave the table.

What happened to being funny?
EN World's users are skewed to those who are at least sometimes GMs. A joke of the form, "Let's be jerks to our GMs!" is apt to fall just a tad flat on the audience.
I think, if you read again, you'll find the reaction is less against the finding of faults, and more against being a jerk about it at the table.
What happened to senses of humor?
All in all, the breaking seems to be on the DM. I don't see, yet, what a player could do to get a huge upper hand in combat.

We lost so much when we (as an online society) shifted from unmoderated newsgroups to moderated webfora. So, so much.
But that's just the point. When you shift breaking the game from the purview of the min/maxing rules lawyer to the DM who makes bad calls (with the understanding that DMs are people and people can be influenced), you simply swap one demon for another -- a demon that those of us who remember the earliest editions should be able to remember.
There is a reason that many DMs (myself included) really liked the fact that 3E has so many clear rules for so many things. We didn't understand, then, what it would lead to. To be fair, the internet gaming community hadn't yet taken off to the degree that it eventually would.
