Oh no, I understood your point perfectly.
Problem is this, the Order has been RPed as this all powerful superpolice for Sirius by the current adminstration, they in actuality shouldn't hold nearly a tenth of the power that they pretend they have, I view this as an opportunity for Zoners to remove one of the millstones around their neck, that being an old and worthless institution like the Order that in 99% of cases attacks people on "suspicion of being a nomad" or some such rubbish and it turns out to be false.
To be crude the Order has waved it's dong around long enough, it's time for people to start pointing at it and laughing at how insignificant it actually is.
Oh, and

No, I quit disco for a while because I was about to have a coronary from Golanski metagaming like a pro and getting away with it, now the chickens are coming home to roost and I welcome them.
Haha, you clearly haven't.
Regardless of the portrayal of the Order by the current administration (Which frankly, seems a bit off as by all accounts The Order has always kept it's capital ships count at a pleasant three, certainly not enough to warrant your accusations) It is not Zoner roleplay to let a conflict continue which they can easily negotiate their way around. It doesn't even make sense for factions armed to the teeth, like the GRN. Why fight a war when you can avoid it?
I'll have to address a key misconception you seem to have. The Zoners, regardless of what they might be. They might be rich, influential and exceptionally noteworthy people...but that does not an army make. Even granting to them the luxury of massive numbers and supply routes from the Houses, they'd be hard-pressed to fight what is (indisputably) one of the hardest hitting paramilitaries in Sirius. The Order might run out of resources pretty quickly, sure. But the Zoners would hardly get away with it unscathed as you seem to be thinking. So in the end it'd just leave a weakened Zoner 'organisation' in the far Omicrons and a weakened Order. Guess who has fun? The Nomads and The Core, not to mention your friendly neighbourhood corsair.
Your personal vendetta against Golanski is irrelevant to the wider discussion. At least he has the good sense not to continue posting intensely biased opinions in this thread.
