I've never seen factions mistreat or harass indies that actually didnt do anything stupid (like destroying traders in a dreadnought or running around systems yelling "omg lol").
Point is though, that if a group of indies is formed, and some of the people from that group do stupid things (say 4 out of 10 people), they will be looked at more closely (or perhaps even automatically labelled as lolwuts). But, like I said, I havent seen things like that happen without a cause.
