At least I've never found myself in a similar situation in either end of the rep spectrum (but that's probably because I had a relatively higher one comparatively).

I agree, but then IIRC, a big part of the rationale brought up for scrapping the old reputation system was that members with high rep could be seen as intimidating to new members (partly since the high rep user could just about destroy the new member's rep with a single neg rep).
Well, if a high rep user is intimidating this way, then I would think that someone
who can ban you would be at least as intimidating. So I definitely see Ledgem's point there.
I'm still working out how I feel on Ledgem's overall proposal though.
