I'm getting more and more respect for those people on /tg/ who complain about their GMing woes, but I just don't think I'm cut out for something like this.

As in during the game? What a cunt nugget. If he did it afterwards, that's different, though.
Have you read through Robin's Laws of Good Gamemastering? It can help. A lot of GMing is in the attitude and the ability to roll with the blows, but RLoGG can be a pretty useful first step.
Another bit of advice is read through John Wick's "Play Dirty," and then do the exact opposite of what that asshat tells you to do.
