That thread gives us mostly what we already know IMHO.
The "real" ping is the one you see, but to compare your ping with others', you're better off dividing what you see by 4 (you might as well multiply others' pings by 4, doesn't matter).
The thing is, though, when I have internet troubles, my ping is way more than 250 (which is the max AA shows) and then when looking at my own ping it counts from 1 to 250 and back. But others still see my ping of 110 for example.
But this topic was more to do with whether or not an other player with higher ping makes the server lag or not.
While there was a little talk about it in the thread you linked, kicking the "high-pinged" players making the server seemingly less laggy, might just have to do with less players -> less server load.
