Conversely, one could easily say that they hate miners because they are too chickenshit to fly a ship that can fight at all.

Not necessarily. A large part of the game is the player driven market which at it's root is driven by the harvesting of resources. Not sure the same basis of logic holds true the other way around. That said, I think it makes total sense for a ganker to fit a ship as effectively for the purpose as possible. This crap argument about "you should fit a gank ship to fight" or "you should fit a ship that can fight to mine" are equally absurd really. As long as the methodology somewhat fits within the scope of the theme of the game I have no issues. It's the minority of freaks who use 8-10 alts or more to manipulate game mechanics for reasons outside the scope of the game theme that annoy the hell out of me. And I suspect there are equal amounts of those ego-freaks on both sides that contribute to the root of the issue.
The player driven market is also driven by the need for products. Which is exclusively the province of those of us who destroy ships.
And it's not about having to fight a mining barge to "fight". But at least fit a tank, don't just fit for max yield and afk in a belt for 40 minutes.
A damage control unit and an afterburner, along with orbiting your roid, will deter tons of ganking. But no, gotta fit that survey scanner, gotta fit that 3rd MLU.

As well as gankers that make and alt and as soon as its too low in sec status they biomass it and fire up alt number two then three and so forth. Just so they don't have to live the the choices they have made. Hiding behind another game mechanic so they don't have to deal with the sec status.
Please stop spouting that bullshit.
Firstly, most (the vast majority) gankers don't do that.
Secondly, the reason they don't, is because it's a bannable offense.

I did not mean to offend you but the people that have ganked me in hisec have all been in NPC corps so I spoke just from experience and the reason why I brought up the Biomass issue is because when I had a conversation with a ganker I was told that there was no point in me coming after him since he was about to biomass that character due to sec status. I admit this was a year or so ago but can you please link to where it says that you are not allowed to biomass a character due to secstatus only to make a new one? I have not read that part. I am not being sarcastic, I did not mean to offend you I am only speaking from my own experiences.
In my own case, I can tell you that I've never gotten a tongue scraping from a GM for such a thing.
But it's been established policy in EVE for at least 5 years now that I know of. I don't really have a source for you, I'm afraid. It's been common knowledge for so long that I've long since forgotten where I first heard it.
