Do you mean this? Honestly, I think such users are a crystal-clear example of the rare instance when technical restrictions are justified. While I don’t think karma scores should be the sole criteria of this, the fact that this user has been allowed to reach a score of −513 is quite striking.
You want high rationality people to be rude to irrational or trollish newcomers? Given that the function of the newcomer-behavior is probably attention, I’m not sure we should positively reinforce the behavior if we don’t want it.
And I don’t see how we can cause high-rationality people to be low status, or why we would want to? (It isn’t like newcomers have much idea who is high status or low status).

I think I don’t understand your proposal.
