On PC-EU I've reported players for insults and "political things" that would constitute a criminal offense in most countries but haven't seen anyone ever get banned even temporarily.
Sorry for your situation but i don't think that should be how it works.
Instead ZOS should actually deal with the reports correctly.
Anything else is just too iffy.
In another game i've had some complete buffoon put me on ignore because he somehow thinks that i was someone else despite the two VERY different usernames, he then would 'warn' people about me in zone chat about what i 'do' while eventually claiming to have 'proof'. Since i knew he was full of it, and could see what he claimed i told everyone else who he could see talking to ask for the proof then.
Turned out some guy was trolling him endlessly while he was interacting with a terminal and in that game it had player character collision so he was walking into him to push him away from the terminal to close it on him and then they had a long argument which he took many screenshots, thing is, although all evidence he had clearly showed someone else entirely, his self written descriptions he kept referring to the person as my name.
If the ignore button worked by also blocking the ignored person from seeing what the blocker says then i wouldn't have been able to defend myself from a guy who spreads lies whenever he saw *anyone* say my name.
You have a guy saying dumb things, just ignore it. It doesn't need to be made a 2 way street because if other people are just going to tell you what he says then it really changes nothing, and at least for your situation it's just clearly petty insults, for others it can be false claims with no way of knowing you need to defend yourself from it.

Sorry but no, that scenario is beyond the scope of what a simple ignoring feature should functionally do.
There are people that are deserving of a report and diciplinary action. And there then there are simple solutions to people that simply annoy you or that you just dont really get along with. A simple squelch is fine for that, and it should work both ways. If the person being ignored can read messages from the other person, and respond without having no idea that they are the ignore list of said individual, it just makes things unnecessarily complicated. If you want to make sure you can defend yourself against "false claims" then you are just going back to square one. If they can't read what you are saying then it would almost require some third party relaying messages between the 3 of you, which is ridiculous.
A random player kicked me from a group after I responded to a request for one healer for a vet daily, I'm a 531cp nb healer, I can heal all 4 man content with my eyes closed, and upon seeing that I wasn't a templar, he kicked me without comment. I asked what the issue was and his response was along the lines of "don't waste peoples time" and "use the activity finder if you want to cheat your way into a group". I said nothing and put him on ignore, simple as that. There is no reason he needs to see what I type after that point. For all I know, I could being responding to another request for a healer in zone chat and he then would try to belittle me or hurt my reputation.
2 way mute should be the norm as it is in most online multiplayer games.

Buy also, you cant see it so does it really matter? Is knowing that harmful?

The other concept that seems dead these days is basic manners - I keep seeing people saying get a thicker skin, but a bit of basic politeness and behaving in ways that wouldn't shame your parents and grandparents is also called for.

I should be able to control what I see, via ignore, so should you.
I should NOT be able to control what others see, via any means at all, neither should you.
Think about it, instead of responding to you they could just be saying bad things anyway and not be seen by you to report them - at their click, not yours.
You control you. I control me.
The mods and hopefully responsive governance are what has to handle others.
IMO
So yes, some people do need a thicker skin, but saying people need manners in return is mis-directed. the people getting ignored usually are the ones in need of manners, not the one saying get a thicker skin.
