In fact the miners are an ideal target, as they are mindlessly grinding wealth they have no use for, because they are too busy mindlessly grinding even more ISK. In a way this is the true role of the miner, as the foundation of the PvP food chain.
This is normal EVE gameplay and has nothing to do with "griefing".
But back to the real topic, is ganking miners PvP?
I would clearly say yes, as it is an action taken against another player, but...
You see the problem with our bot-aspirant enemy is that they are often not at the keyboard, not actually playing the game. So the real discussion me thinks is, can we call someone who left the bridge of his ship while in space still a player? I think this question is essential when we try to establish if ganking is PvP or not.
Pretty much this.
Ganking for profit often includes working the market with an alt, or friends in the area that you're ganking in. There's plenty of money to be made replacing the ships and modules used by both gankers and miners.
Consider it an aggressive marketing campaign.
With regards to it being griefing, I refer Kazumi Amaterasu to the official wiki with special reference to suicide ganking
Ganking is PvP, it's not elite PvP but it's PvP.
PvP itself isn't restricted to making things explode, if it involves competing with another player, or involves the market it can be considered to be PvP.

But go ahead and keep using the 'hashtag' if it makes you feel more secure about yourself

No wonder all these White Knight corps fail so much. They never leave the forums to do what it is they believe they can do. The forums are their weapons, the problem is that they keep forgetting the ammo.
