I like how Aba talks about how GM intervention is akin to going to jail for 4 years for speeding. That makes sense.
What you're suggesting is removing all police officers from the world and letting us sort our own shit out. Ostracizing a sociopath doesn't do a damn thing in RL or in a game.
Let me use your tactics of taking examples to an extreme: I'm sure the family of a murder victim appreciates the "carebear" attitude of the police officers that hunt down and punish the murderer. Then again, I suppose they could just hunt him down and kill him themselves. Then have that victim's family hunt down the other family and kill them... and so on.
Anarchy > Policing
Why do you think SOE implemented the Play Nice Policy in the first place? Because they realized people could not be trusted to police themselves and the game was descending into chaos.
