I just don't understand why all the OORP annoyance, anger, malice, etc. seems to get solely directed at the ZA, other than simply assuming this is just Q_Qing on a grand scale because ZA can't be controlled in RP.
Actually ZA could be controlled inRP to an extent, but that is a decision up to Phoenix, whether they want to use their official faction rights or not and of course up to the Admins, who review their request and accept or deny it.
What I can imagine about all the ooRP hatred being directed towards ZA, one reason could be the bases themselves, granting them power through game mechanics which by no means would they have inRP. And they decided to abuse that power, resulting in the lockdown of O74. Base sieges also tend to lead to ooRP stuff too.
Another reason could be the leader's hypocritical actions lately. There have been metagaming and powergaming attempts from ZA side, such as inRP reports about The Order containing data they couldn't have ever acquired (e.g. Order-Council relations), as well as the infamous boarding attempt, where the ZA tried to take over Livadia shipyard with marines boarding the station, and tried to back it up with in-game screenshots. Again, game mechanics to prove an inRP point. And then after all of this, there have been several accusations from ZA side towards the rest about metagaming.
I hope I gave a clear answer.

I really see no relation between my way of thinking and imagining I am a zoner while doing that nonsense. If you could enlighten me about the relevance of the two to eachother, I would be glad.

The directive been there way before the ZA started to deal with nomad material without the consent of the Order, and has been agreed upon by all of the Zoner factions prior to ZA generating sh*tstorm. It shouldn't have taken too much effort to actually pay attention and ask Order prior to dealing with those materials. If lately the whole is really used for trolling, well, they asked for it.
