Yes yes yes. Great post.
The worst thing with R99 (albeit not as much now) and emulated servers in general is people tend to bring all of their baggage from previous boxes along with them which includes the delusions that a) they're somebody big and important, b) they're the best-of-the-best at the game, c) that someone new can't come along and squash them, d) that being a jackass on the forums or /ooc impresses anyone but themselves and their little nuthugging friends.
I certainly started on Red with a ton of misconceptions about the players and the game. Turns out that I am guilded with great people and the server is full of great enemies. It's a whole new world out there. In-game behavior has just as much of an impact on Red as it does Blue, maybe more so. Griefers tend to be flashes in the pan with little or no sustainability.
