As far as I know, the ONLY cabal that can affect out of range people without that person having made a choice (such as manacles where the person has chosen to break a law) is Sylvan. You complain that some out of range person can kill you or affect you, and yet Sylvans are the only ones, with bioempathy and the rest, that can affect and harm anyone, pk range or not.

The rest of your post seemed a bit self-serving, but so be it. When we tangled you did as expected and I suppose so did I. You died once or twice I believe and escaped once or twice, which is better than most mages after I'd manacled them. So well done for that.

Lastly, I would think Farnsworth is a good example of someone who did not talk weirdly or tell jokes or in some way act bizarre and yet who still received imm attention. Just my point of view.
