There were no need for other lolwuts and noobs to create that hostile atmosphere, the base builders did that themselves, and still doing so. Also point me towards any precedence of such happening to this degree and I may believe you they weren't the first to do this.

The two cases are different and barely comparable. We have been discussing this already, so in short I'll say just this: the main difference between the cases is that TAZ were cooperative with the ones superior to them while ZA are still not to this day. It's not about official or unofficial factions as you may want to imply, rather how diplomatic the owners are.
