Correct me if I'm wrong, but it almost seems like you are saying in a roundabout way that the OP brought this situation on himself by somehow not having a reputation and/or appearance that earned him respect. Am I wrong?

Sorry, I'm just not grasping what exactly this all has to do with the situation cited in the OP. I understand and appreciate the concept of reputation, but sometimes it's quite possible that you're just gonna have a player that goes nuclear. Then what do you do?
