I can't say I support Admins protecting factions just because said factions get upset when people attack them. The Zoners have a lot of players, and a lot of players who yelled and screamed, and apparently that matters more than any possible RP or in-game reasoning.
At the very roots, this breaks down to people complaining OOCly about being attacked ICly, by a group which has every right and reason to attack them.
