I play how I want, and the only people I've eliminated are people who asked for it (literally, as in "please siege all my cities").

So apparently I don't fit the model.

I'd say anyone can play in any way they like... they just have to realise that any action might have various reactions (from other players)... same as real life I guess.

Yeah, pretty much. Follow our rules or we'll siege you out of the game. Though to be honest, I don't think a sandbox game can truly exist in a multiplayer setting. You're always going to have someone telling you, you can't play that way. Singleplayer games are usually the only way you can really experience that "play in any way imaginable" without fear of being stomped out by someone who doesn't like it the way you're doing it.

No no, it's a sandbox. You can play however you want, whenever you want. 
Those that want to be aggressive, can be aggressive.
Those that don't, will still employ self-defense.

Assuming the driving idea behind opposing "Play nicely or we'll eliminate you" is "I want to fight", then I think there's a function in the game to fulfill the "Fight" thought. Form an alliance with others that agree with that idea. The game is fully capable of aggressive playing. 

"Play our way" dominates because people fight back. With greater numbers. I suppose you could get around that with some creative recruiting for a war-faring alliance, if you were inclined to do so.
