Exactly how harsh are the chat rules?

This is actually kinda upsetting. Not because people do that, as every multiplayer game I've played in has had folks like that (usually it's easily shrugged off), but because this kinda shuts out my desires of open world Roleplaying now. Although I prefer to roleplay as friendly and inquisitive, there's folks that like to roleplay as a dark and/or brooding character with little-to-no tolerance of others (Think of Squall from ff8 or Cloud when he started in ff7) who develop their characters personality later down the road.

What if the broody character is in character and shrugs off "Do what you want, just don't be a damn burden to the team." Or what if there's an argument in the group/fellowship for the sake of advancing a story? Or god forbid, what if someone with a sailor background with a goofy temper pops off a quote like "I'mma peg you between t'eyes like my whole crew did between the legs o'er mother, ye landlubber!"

my mind instantly jumps to Silvairre in the archers guild that blew off the cat girl and everyone else. What does someone do if they want to match his tone and personality type, including how he changed later?

Don't do it to other players who aren't aware you're roleplaying. Is that hard?
