That may work for Rust, but is pretty clear-cut against the rules in P99 EQ. I mean there's literally a rule-set dedicated to "Play Nice". I don't think arguing toxicity is something that's part of this game is applicable here. I'd argue further that toxicity was what lead to 2 guilds being banned, reinforcing that toxicity is not tolerated here.

There is a middle ground. If you think the server is toxic now, you should have been around in the IB/DA/FE/TMO days... p99 is basically a daycare playground compared to back then.
I'm not advocating for straight up breaking the rules, but talking shit on the forums or discord literally hurts no one, and I would argue makes the server more interesting. Back in the day we used to regularly have like 100+ page RnFs with IB, DA, TMO and spectators from other guilds going back and forth. Now RnF is basically a mixture of General and Off-Topic. I mean, what is the point of even having a RnF forums if Rants and Flames are considered "toxic"?
Most normal, well adjusted people don't take this shit seriously. I can't even count the number of people I've shit on during an issue we're on different sides of, but actually like and get along with. Most of the people who have been raiding here for any significant amount of time have been around long enough that they realize how incestuous the guild factions have become at this point, so while you might argue issues in the moment, holding grudges is pointless.
The issue with this server right now isn't "toxicity", its an unclear and overly burdensome set of rules that enables lawyer questing and requires players the have some sort of encyclopedic knowledge of all the constantly changing ruling precedents.
