From what I have learned in my experience, the more you post in reply to someone who is provoking you, the more they're going to antagonize you because you replied to them.
I'm not sure what you did to get banned from the forums or ingame... I've been playing on the server a bit, and I only had nothing but positive interaction with the community, though. I've been single boxing a warrior going my own pace, and don't plan on raiding. I haven't pushed my thoughts on anyone and no one even knows it's me. Whereas, when I am on my GM-Coder flagged character, I get random tells from people about CSR issues despite being a coder and having nothing to do with any of that and get to be at the receiving end of all the things you are experiencing,
Personally I'd just not make a big deal about reputation, politics, and such. Just enjoy the game of EverQuest. It's easier and less hair-pullingly frustrating in the end.
