Marvellous logic.

A farmer is a person who attacks a planet which he
knows will not be defended. A non-farmer attacks planets which
may receive defence, depending on the capabilities of the planet under attack, his galaxy and alliance. There's an
interesting thread on the suggestions forum which discusses the role played by illegitimate farms in past rounds and the pros and cons of banning such farming.
A person who tries to get defence for themselves cannot be a farm. Let me give you an example: imagine that you and I are in the same galaxy. You don't like me (perhaps I attacked your friends, or insulted you, or whatever), and you encourage someone else to attack me. By your definition, I am now a 'farm'. But I am still entirely capable of getting defence from my alliance or from other planets in the galaxy, or friends in the cluster. In these circumstances, I am obviously not a farm. I might be annoyed by your behaviour, but maybe I deserved it for repeatedly attacking your alliance, or for insulting you? I'm certainly not anyone's farm in this scenario.
