I think you would be surprised over how many people actually do this.
Say that someone blows up a new player, and the new player then contacts the person who killed them and avoid doing the following things;
1. Whine about how you killed them.
2. Yell at them because they are such naughty naughty people.
3. Demand that you reimburse their ship.
4. Threaten to report you.
5. Threaten you in real life.
6. Scream about how you done with the game and EVE will die because of nasty people like the person who blew them up.
chances are high that the person who just blew them up will take some time and explain what they did wrong, give them advice on how to avoid it in the future, forward them to suitable corporations if they seem interested in leaving their current one/are in an NPC corp, invite them to hang out in their own public channels, and potentially invite them to join their own corp.
In simple words, have a good attitude, be polite and show some respect, and they will often show the same respect towards you.
Oddly enough even the pirates enjoy new players (and not just the kill mails they generate  )
One of the best examples of this is Cannibal Kane who has war decced more noob corporations then im sure he can count, and then instead of sitting laughing at them (even if im sure he does some of that as well) he gives them advice on everything from how to fit their ships to how to operate during war decs.
That naughty pirate has most likely made sure that quite a few people have managed to withstand their first "real" war dec where the purpose is nothing but trying to make them miserable
