Actually it is about fairness and the majority. Unless of course

Ah, but you see ... you have every right to do that, on the server. Thats the point of an open server. We have every right to pound on you for it, because there are more of us, and so long as we follow server rules, we win. We haven't broken any rules, and the admins are siding with us, so you can continue to give a rats ass what the forum community thinks, but understand, we're bigger, and we're more organized. We run factions, we join factions, we stay around, we talk in skype, and we know who you are, and we seem to dislike what you want to stand for. Thats the climate, as I see it. The forum goers and faction leaders have lots of friends, and lots of influence...that, as Xoria explained somewhere else, means we can walk all over the less organized or smaller groups of people who disagree with us on the server.
Is not actually referring to the quotation provided.
If it isn't about said quotation, what is it about? The attitude is actually just realist. That is how things are on the server and in life.
There are very very few, if any, factions out there that treat independants horribly. Some factions can be heavy handed in their dealings as many new people aren't aware of these various RP-only Rules (Ship restrictions etc) and simply blow it off as being the new person's fault for not reading the forums. Considering that these threads are usually pages long and full of Spam, can you blame them? And when they see in the server rules that they can fly anything they want, surely they can't be expected to hunt down these elusive threads that they don't even know exist?
More information is needed for new people BUT the fact remains that Factions (Yes there is a difference between 1 independant and an officially recognised faction of dozens) can dominate Independants. Might makes right in Freelancer.
