I agree in some ways with this, and not necessarily in other ways. Whether or not you are allowed to get away with making trouble depends on how you approach it. We've had simply ridiculous amounts of dissension in Caelum, and rarely has anyone ever gotten banned for it. (Caelum is the most absurdly dysfunctional realm I have *ever* seen!) Dissension, sniping, petty political fighting, and troublemaking are damn near ingrained in our way of life.
Whether or not you can get away with things often depends on how you approach it. If your character is dedicated to helping the realm (at least publically) you can almost always get away with causing problems and fomenting dissension. Problems mostly start when people think you are working against the realm, or at the expense of the realm.
But yeah, some realms are a bit quick on the ban trigger.
