The alt system allows players to keep happily playing while avoiding non-consensual pvp. If the alts are discovered, it's fair game.

Actually he does have a point but only if there is no direct interaction between the characters
For example: Let's call our player JimBob. JimBob has two characters. One is a pirate. The other is a miner. JimBob does not trade or have any links between his two characters.
You for some reason war dec the pirate character. Then somehow you find out the miner also belongs to JimBob. You war dec the miner because you know it belongs to JimBob
What you've done here could be viewed as griefing because you are attacking JimBob just because it is JimBob's characters. It's gone to a personal level.
If, however, JimBob trades between characters or there is some other link (one supports the other for example) then it is not griefing.
Bull****. JimBob's piracy means he instigates non-consensual pvp all the time. He has no right to be artificially protected from it by CCP or by law if people know who his alt is.

No, JimBob's pirate character is. His miner has nothing to do with anything? So you're suggesting that it's still fine to dec someone's chars even if they have nothing to do with each other? The only link being they are both owned by JimBob? That is griefing.
Now if the characters had some ingame link to each other or you had some other legit reason to dec the other then sure, but for no other reasons then no it is personal griefing.
You don't understand. Let me explain it for you:
"JimBob" has plenty of ingame tools at his disposal to avoid griefing on any of his characters. He can temporarily move to an NPC corp(the best way to protect oneself), hire merc corps, stay in highsec if not wardecced, and even as last resort, he can log off for a week. The motive for those attacking him is irrelevant. Whether they know or not that he's the alt of a known pirate, they have a right to wardec him and engage him in pvp. No outside force should be protecting him because the game rules allow him to take steps to protect himself.
Did you forget that Eve has a pretty clear warning label? If you undock, you put yourself at risk. No exceptions.
