It isn't that bad.  If you're playing in a friendly game, someone who
killed you with friendly fire is pretty likely to res you and not steal
your stuff.  Friendly fire is usually an accident, and if you play as a
warrior and get killed overmuch by it, it means that you're probably
running in front of the other players while they're shooting.  You may get
with an overzealous mage on occasion, but a decent player will res anyone
he (or she) kills by accident.  Hell, if I do it, I try to give the other
guy something for his trouble.  Not much, say a full heal potion or
something, but there's no point in pissing the other players off.  Don't
get so worked up about it, just tread more carefully and let the other guys
have their kills.  

BTW, Anyone else discouraged by the new Diablo Wear patch?  The author has
singlehandedly ruined what little economy remained in Diablo...sure, you
could dupe stuff before but now there's little purpose to go hunt for that
King's Sword of Most Heinous Whup-Ass.  Blizzard should forget Starcraft
for a few weeks and fix Diablo (can't do much about the items, but why not
fix that $@^*ing TownKill problem?  Or better yet, why not make it
impossible for players to kill each other!  True, you couldn't avenge the
stealing of items then, but what's the point?  You can get a new one in
fifteen seconds if you want.
