It isn't really a witch hunt, its more role play consequences for role play actions. Dakun chose to role play his character in a way that doesn't jive with Zoner lore or role play. He refuses to understand that Zoners resort to violence only as a last resort, he refuses to understand that Zoners muscle is their ability to talk their way out of a jam, not shoot.
His basis for this is the fact that he and his friend were able to use Jinkusus and Fearless' and Conferences to kill other players. He also feels that Zoners were super powerful in vanilla Freelancer and that they didn't take **** from anyone. Ignoring the fact that in vanilla Freelancer there were less than 2000 Zoners, who didn't have cap ships and only flew Eagles. Zoners have evolved since then, but not to the point where they are a military power that Dakun sees them as.
Dakun being appointed as administrator of Freeport 1 was done in a very shady way. A person who had only been the administrator of the station for about two months basically took a bribe to give it to him. That very day another play who role play sthe administrator of another station was PM'd and offered something in return for surrendering the freeport he ran. No one owns any Freeport, the people role playing administrators merely represent the councils that run the freeport.
A Zoner offering cash to the person who kills everyone else around a Freeport? That is so far outside of Zoner role play and that is just one reason so many Zoners players, both faction and independant, are asking he be removed. He has endangered Freeport 1, which has consequences for every other Freeport out there.
So yes, there is ooRP reasoning and inRP reasoning for the bandwagon that has been formed. I can't say I blame the people, Dakun was warned multiple times that his role play wasn't Zoner role play and he ignored those warnings.
The whole issue over the blood diamonds could have been solve in true Zoner style but Dakun refused and instead was determined to instigate Rheinland, a freaking house.
He was given his chance and instead of taking the advice of those offering it, he spit in our faces and did what he wanted. Same as he did last time.
