But, we as a community should start reporting those players that throw out abusive and foul insults due to their feelings of entitlement.

As, without checking, foul language that is being used after in open chat is a reportable offence.
I understand that a lot of the 'griefing' that is really happening is the abusive and foul name-calling (on both sides btw). I was directly responding to the person's situation I quoted. The /sh/t/s abusive language that is also happening is of course, also harassment and punishable, but it's a different thing that what the poster I was responding to was implying. If people think that they can report anyone who pulls 'early' simply for pulling and that person will be somehow punished, they are wrong. But yes, if that same person turns around and starts taunting them/harassing them or being unpleasant (assuming they weren't provoked into it) then yes, they can get in trouble as they are harassing people. But if a GM takes actions against them, it was never for 'early pulling', it was for the namecalling and nastyness that they said after it.
