Apparently I'm racist against a fictitious organisation. Hilarious.
*shrug*

Apparently indeed. Anyways, I'm just saying that your adamant opposition, self proclaimed hatred of Zoners, and unyielding opinions no matter how reasonable the counter argument, all besides your constant chiding of Mal during his departure, has put you in a quite negative position in my eyes. Not a good place for a faction leader (?) to be, no matter how many people see him that way.
Blunt Wrote:I thought that the oldest Zoner faction, the TAZ, were utterly opposed to the imposition of order, actually. Zoners are a bunch of anarchists (miscreants to some, perhaps) who live in the middle of nowhere amidst chaos. That is what they are, correct. They protect themselves by making themselves useful, not by making laws. I was pretty sure that enforced order is the sort of ideology that made the Zoners abandon civilised space.
Mm, that may be the way the TAZ see it, but the TAZ do not embody the Zoners as a whole. Not to mention the fact that a lot of them (TAZ) were the founders of the CoZ, and thus some of the initial creators of the NFZ. There's a difference between a forced imposition of order, and common sense and safety. Namely the desire to have really big guns as far away from yourself and your home as possible. In short, that is what we were, not what we have become.

I felt it was, because like the US as a whole having a negative foreign outlook during Bush's presidency, so too do factions and their leaders.

Zoners start a thread (maybe one for each Freeport?) "NFZ Abusers"
If someone is using a FP as a base to launch raids from, or a "safe zone" to hide in after piracy, he gets reported there.
Post 1 by lawful pilot : "Pirate X is using FP 1 as a base to raid Cambridge. Here are screenys"
Post 2 by TAZ/COZ "Ok, go nuts, he is no longer protected at the Freeport"
Since few Zoners seem to have noticed your suggestion, I'll make aware the masses. We'll see what happens.
Piz-eace out.
-Edit- @dieter, we do have an NFZ violations thread, at which location people post evidence and we deem them unhealthy for existence, but I do see the differences between your suggestion and that. I'll still run it by the Council to bring public attention.
-Double Edit- CoZ post made. We'll see how it works out.
