Yes preventing another ships equipment from working is not offensive at all. They are looking at you, big deal.

I'm sure that if you were on a bus and some guy started eyeballing you you wouldn't jump on him and pluck out his eyes.

If I were in a battlefield and some sniper was eyeballing me...YES, I would pluck his eyes out.

EVE is a battlefield...not a bus ride.

I know "ad hominem" is the current trendy word being used to make you sound smart, but you should at least use it in the right context instead of just throwing it about whenever you don't like someone.

---

Ad hominem refers to making your response against and/or about the individual rather than addressing a response to the individual's argument. You know; like saying "it was another ****ty post by a ****ty poster" without actually saying anything about the content of the post itself or the issue it raised. Another good example would be to suggest that someone used a particular phrase to be "trendy" or in an attempt to "look smart", thereby attacking the individual's (supposed) motives rather that what they actually said, especially so when the phrase in question is both correct and cogent.

Its a game not RL. Nonetheless I find the following comparison quite appropriate:

You can't just drop buckets of paint one someones car rendering their windows viewless even though the car may be parked in front of your home and someone inside the car might be looking at your home to determine if there is something worth stealing.
