Kicking IC out of Rheinland was stupid due to both in and oorp reasons, but Vrabcek is right IC leadership at that time could be more willing to cooperate with official Rheinland factions.
In general: it's silly to say there are "good officials and bad indies", or vice versa. There are good and bad people, on both sides of barricade. Creating artificial divisions on "officials" and "indies" doesn't make sense, e.g. I am official in DHC but fly as an unofficial Molly. Am I "official" or "indie" player?
Instead of spending energy on pointless arguments just work with reasonable people, regardless do they fly under official tag or independent one.
