I'm not playing rift any more because of the jerks that populate it but I love when people share their setups! Good to have a base hotkey script if I ever let my isboxer sub lapse.

While I do agree that there has been an influx of jackasses into the game I fear that it's kind of a necessity to deal with the varying mental acuity of select sects when merged into an online virtual environment. Simply not playing a game due to the type of people that free to play presents itself to is just wrong in my opinion.
Rift most definitely has its fair share of bugs, but it's a well polished game with a unique experience when put shoulder to shoulder with a LOT of the other mmo's that are out there today. The same way there are members of that community that are completely unbeneficial to the social environment there are others in various games other than rift. There is no avoiding the ignorance that is the culmination of social interaction, only whether you choose to allow it to culminate into a problem for your individual lifestyle.
I like to think of the idiots/trolls/wannabe's/etards/elitests and other various groups of individuals that "put themselves on display for my entertainment" as just that: Entertainment - They're the laughing stock of the game, the class clowns in an otherwise null and void grey area. They're the life of the party, and the ones that provide us with the ability to laugh a little inside and think back to our pasts and think to ourselves "god I'm so glad I didn't end up like that."
That's my take on it, obviously you have, and are welcome to your own; but I fear that you've done yourself a grave injustice by eradicating something that you indicate gave you a mild level of pleasure simply over the type of people that play it with you. There's an ignore function for a reason.
If you should so ever change your mind and decide to play again please feel free to email, or PM me, and I'll give you my username/shard and a guild invite.
