/r is kinda buggy. When I try to respond to people between pulls I end up whispering long rants to random people and having to apologize...or then have the jerk start screaming in shout chat that I shouldn't call them some endearing term that wasn't meant for them in the first place...
I've usually got less than 3 seconds before my party pulls again so I've changed to just using the whisper tab because it's too dangerous to type /r anymore.
