I belive official factions claimed all responsibility for indies when they started to dictate which indie player can and cannot use what piece of faction equipment/ship and asked them to follow rules made by the offic faction.
Not ideal situation, but having control means having a responsibility as well.
It's a bit messed up as a whole, some officials indirectly (or even directly) say indies are "not good enough to be offic"players and such nonsenses, of course provoke the other side to be a bit hatefull as well. And I am not really counting in the plain oorp idiots, like pirating LPI ID guy in Hacker gb and such - that's not even a player and faction member in my opinion.
So lot of anger around here. But I agree that yelling at officials for something that indy has done is really misplaced. As is yelling on another indy.
I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.
