Couple things...
A) The server stayed online
Your note about crashing the server from the EULA doesn't work. CCP had plenty of warning for this event and gave their full and complete blessing for it. The only way you wouldn't have known this was coming is if you live under a rock.
B) Griefing does not equal harassment
Harassment can be defined as continually harassing a specific player. What happened in Jita was just wanton destruction of which I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
C) No one was using an exploit as everyone died on grid
No one warped off or evaded concord in anyway. There were simply too many threats for concord to handle at once.
Speaking of living under a rock. You managed to find the C&P forums easily enough which means you should have known about the event as it has been the most talked about thing since hulkageddon.
While I share your carebear love for all things highsec I also love a bit of change in the environment once in awhile. Player driven content makes this game work and I'll be damned before I ask CCP to change any rules regarding the events that took place last night.

Ahh the innocence of youth. High sec is high sec, not super-max safety center. While yes, the event has disrupted a significant portion of play for a lot of people, that was the intention. It is not like this sort of thing happens every day though. If GS was going after jita traffic every day, I might take exception to that and so would CCP. There are things called exceptions to rules and they dont happen all the time which makes them okay. You should look around on the gamer sites that have advertised this event about EVE. Go read the comments from various people. Most of what you will find is people who say, "wow, EvE is different than other MMOs." It absolutely amazes me every time this happens and I am glad for it. I want more people to play EvE, I want more people to see this game and how awesome it really is. (holy fanboy rant btw)...
What EvE has is a fully dynamic environment that nothing compares to. My advice, take this in stride and look at it as something interesting that doesn't happen in any other game. What will GS do tomorrow?? WHO KNOWS!? Isn't that great? All we really need now is a true super power dedicated to fighting GS.

Im not arguing that hisec is a super-max safety center nor is it my argument. My point is that the Players involved in the event disrupted a significant portion of play for a lot of people, that was the intention they willfuly atempted to crash the cluster and or disrupt gameplay. also in doing so caused concord to be non responcive giving them the go ahead to have a free for all this i would consider "exploting the limitations of the game machanics " and in direct violation of section 6 heading one of the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT http://community.eveonline.com/pnp/eula.asp "if CCP gave the green light that i would consider playing favortisim rules should apply to everone not just a select few "
Look. They didn't intentionally crash the server; nor did they intend to crash the server. Had they not said anything to anyone and just did it, CCP might have had words about it. As far as concord is concerned, they were just as effective as usual. There were just too many targets for them to shoot all at once. No game mechanics were broken, it was deemed not an attempt to crash the server by CCP due to excellent communication between GS and CCP. I have tried showing you why this was a cool event, I have also tried to show you the reaction the rest of the MMO world has had. So far, nothing has been able to sway you into seeing a different point of view on this. You have forced my hand to say something that I never wanted to.
HTFU - This is a dynamic game with player generated content. If you can't deal with that, go elsewhere. Please.
PS: Not favoritism, If you can organize this kind of event and communicate it as well as GS has, CCP will indeed give you the full go-ahead.
PSS: I hate you for making me look like the very people that I despise.

I have already debunked your favoritism theory, its nonsense, give it up. Also, I have previously stated that you live under a rock. Just because YOU didn't know doesn't mean CCP didn't. Guess what? CCP does not need to consult you every time something happens in THEIR game.
Jita/New Eden (contrary to your popular belief) does not revolve around you.

Bah, thats all it was anyway. A nice, bright, and shiney fizzle.
