Even telling people 'hey sorry, internet problems' can go a long way. People can't read your mind, for all they know they had a tank bail on them during their EW experience and the GM probably had to deal with something similar lately. A lot of factors can add up, but attitude and just being honest about what's going on can dispel a lot of situations, and prevent getting reported.
9/10 there's always something more to it when the first course of action is to kick up a fuss on the forums and then go for the "Can't beat em, join em" crusade. Especially when underpinned by certain mannerisms. Personally I'd just have tried to dispute it in silence, if said dispute didn't work then I'd try and push for a DSAR so I could at least push to get a copy of the corresponding logs. If I could have done something better then I'll keep it in mind for the future.
