1) Why everything about James 315, said by him or not, has to involve biblic walls of text?

2) In case this gank happened, James 315 has actually succeeded. One of his objectives is to wake up some miners from their slumber and show them more of the full game. This is what happened. 1 in a 1000 but happened.

Pulling concord about is fine.

Using concord as invincible bodyguards is an exploit.

How does my reply differ from that you quoted?

The reasoning is that you're deliberately using free ships (noob frigates) and alts to bypass the risk and penalties incurred by angering CONCORD. The incurred penalties are ignored since there's no financial loss, and no meaningful security loss, since you would delete the character afterwards.

Of course, if you're willing to live with these penalties, and don't delete the offending character, then there's no problem, since it is working as intended (you lose your ship, become criminally flagged, and incur a security hit). Although no one will really like you since you're spawning CONCORD to cover your own money making schemes

How about getting some players to help you mine in safety?

Spawning concord for protection has been deemed an exploit.

If he succeeded, then why wasn't he boasting of his success, as he usually does so well. No he was just pissed off and logged out.
James315 is just a pathological egomaniac, nothing more. He would feel powerful with his (supposedly) risk free gank strategy, he wants attention on him like a kid. As the op pointed out, he would never accept any duels, even after taunting people into asking a duel. No balls at all. Avoiding real PvP by ganking miners who cannot fight back - that's about all what he can do.

boomerang went on for years.

CCP cant do much in this case as concord is meant to stay on grid for a while. The issues comes when people start throwing ibis into the grinder to keep the concord spawn in place to act as bodyguards.

From what I saw, boomerang was declared an exploit and nerfed with the instant-web and 15-minute timer within days of CCP finding out about it?

I'm just a bit miffed that one exploit is ruled against, declared and mechanics implemented immediately to combat it, but another is ruled against, kept quiet and nothing happens

Also, I'm stil not entirely clear on this. Is pulling CONCORD onto grid for protection once an exploit?

What motivation could a suicide ganker possibly have to convince you that a suicide ganking defense is an exploit?

People demanding KM and questioning veracity of OP's claim could have just looked for the KM themselves. I did. It exists.
So, congratulations.
What I don't understand why his stabber has empty high-slots.
well, no guns needed for bumping I guess.
In other threads gankers are celebrated and here people try to find something.
She ganked Jimbo (I'm missing Starkiller's update regarding his PvP experiences with Jimbo)

Battleclinic , eve-kill and zKillboard show no losses for James in the last year or so.

What motivation could a suicide ganker possibly have to tell their victims how to protect themselves? Yet they do, on a regular basis, and have done so for some time.

ooops, shame on me!

the Killmail exists, but is dated 12/02/11 on battleclinic. my bad.

Mostly ridicule, also a little bit of misdirection. The suggestions are always wildly impractical so it really doesn't hurt any. Pre-spawning Concord, in contrast, is very cost-effective and can be a significant nuisance.

So telling people how to tank their barges and exhumers, how to use the standings mechanism to highlight people who would do them harm, how to use the overview and to not AFK is ridicule and misdirection?

Please use this tactic. We enjoy getting clueless miners banned as much as killing them.

Oh come on baltec, don't say things like that... who would you turn your sociopathic affection (yea, that's a contradiction ) to, if all the "clueless miners" got banned!?

Repeating wildly known and freely available information while goading someone to sit intently at their screen in highsec while they.... wait - yes, yes it is.

We have learned there is no end to silly miners.

Welcome to the high sec way of thinking. Where using an exploit that could get you banned is seen as a better option than fitting a tank in those empty mids.

How many people have you run into pre-spawning Concord but not tanking their ship?

ie baltec is full of **** and can't support his claim whereas comments from CCP employees indicate that the activity is fine provided you don't delete characters.

Nice generalization there...
