I've had people get mad at me over me simply trying to be friendly in a dungeon. I don't swear, I don't do anything. I'm totally squeaky clean. Just a 'hi'. And it's "DID YOU JUST LOOK UP MY SKIRT YOU PERVERTED POTATO!?" With complete seriousness.

I've had so many people get mad at me for the most idiotic of reasons in my time gaming. Not so much ffxiv, usually people love me with a couple bad encounters spanning across years (best ratio for friendly encounters i've ever seen in a game :3). But for all I know, someone's reported me for rping wrong or something, and I could end up with an unremovable strike because someone got 'offended' and believes that anything they remotely dislike needs to be purged and burned.

(And yet people often are elitist and hate my in-game race and call me a pervert just for playing a small knight in armor. wtf)
So, could you tell me how many times you have ended up in trouble with GMs due to these misadventures? As that is the topic, not people raging at you after they assumed you peeped up their skirt. There is a HUGE difference between people getting annoyed with you and you ending up in trouble with GM and getting warnings.
