I'd elaborate if I weren't on my phone, but the crux of the issue is the same one that has made Congress an appalling faction for the longest time now: they just don't care about anything but themselves - and, reportedly, have enough 'backing' to be able to do so.
That's what it boils down to: they don't care about anyone else's roleplay or gameplay - whether it's blasting one Roc with upwards of ten Wreckers and Salvagers, jump trading PScrap/Cardi with no regard for how it affects the sever economy, quickdocking on Java when caught out by Gallic lawfuls in the Taus, the whole Rayburn Station debacle, or treating 'serious roleplay' threads as a bit of a laugh; the cadre of middle-aged Americans that the Congress consists of just do not give one damn about anyone other than themselves.
You'd have more luck arguing with a brick wall.
Shoutout to Captain Nemo for being an outstanding example of the above 'lol idc xd' attitude throughout this thread.
