This is the *one* thing that sometimes comes out of EVE that I really hate: Sometimes I find myself having to retrieve my jaw from the floor in disbelief at the immaturity of some of the players I come across. Not just pirates, not just carebears, but everybody within EVE.
Our corp does its best to keep the pirate "riff raff" out of our neighbouring systems to protect our miners and traders. Because of this I have been on many "group outings" with corp members and friends from other corps.
All goes well until local (or even gang chat) turns into juvenile smacktalk which, quite frankly, depresses me. Don't get me wrong, I like to chat to the pirates in local, and especially enjoy a bit of humorous RP banter when I can get it, but when it turns into mindless smacktalk I usually pack my bags and leave (and I've even done this because of childish smacktalk from my own gang members against either me for being too "nice" to the pirates, or about the said pirates that we're supposedly hunting).
To be fair, piracy in this game has unfortunately been given a bad name by some due to exploits, or by smacktalking themselves. Due to the (relatively) small number of players who have taken this role within the game, many pirates get tarred with the same brush. I have to say that it's usually been the more, ummm... "amateur" PC pirates that have bred this bad reputation, and these are usually the ones that fall into my category of "wholly incompetent"
But I have to agree with Jade on this one: Sadly, we do have one too many players that take the whole game waaaay too seriously, and this goes for players on both sides of the law. Usually, the first ones to shout "griefer" are the afk halfwits, and the ones who cry "carebear" are usually the ones that smacktalk in local, then run when two cruisers begin to hunt them down.

Nail on the head there dude. Only time I was podded I nearly quit. Until I put it in perspective and realised it was prolly a silly idea to be afk through Dantumi in a Kestrel anyhow :)
Think that particular attitude is just a question of getting used to loosing ships and not getting too attached.
But you might be stuck with the smack talkers :(

To all: You can completely disregard any post from anyone from Crusaders 10000ad. Crusaders tried to extort money and or ore from our corp in return for not declaring war on is. Before they war delcaration I recieved hatemail from many of them and thier alt, generally indicating their lack of respect for carebears in general and me personally. Pre-war, they conducting many hit and run raids on some of my newer members and infiltrated with alts to do some stealing of low level loot and ships. Sinve the war became official, there has been no sign of them. The fact is, they are a bunch of windbags and couldn't participate in a real war if they wanted to. So why hate pirates? Becouse you are thieves and liars. I have no respect for people like that in RL and none for them here.

That kill list is pre-war, and were sneak attacks on miners, the only kills since the war started have been your loss. And, no moa was lost.

Jade ... again you try to take the moral high ground with statements like ...

On the other extreme the kiddies of M3G4/Biomass are pretty poor for 13yr old playground muppetry. It's all repetition and "nyah nyah" yaaa boo sucks ... (which is their basic strategy for cunningly attempting to get a war enemy to move from a prepared position.)
Now we can all remember Sunday when you turned into a jibbering wreck shouting a whole list of four letter words ..... can you even remember your own alliance members requesting you "shut up" ......
Every game, every corp has the good the bad and the ugly "unless your NVA and you have the last two" but who cares its just a game ...

Some reasons why people despise pirates:
-It is how we are brought up. Our society teaches us that thiefs and murderers are BAD PEOPLE. They need to be caught and punished.
-Pirates destroy things with which we have an emotional attachment. If you spent weeks getting a ship only to have a pirate blow it up you are going to be very bitter. We identify with our characters and ships. It's what makes roleplaying games fun. It might not be rational but otherwise this game reduces to just a bunch of statistics. It's similar to when your mother throws out your favourite 'lucky' shirt. The shirt might be worn out and not really fit to wear in public but losing it still hurts. The brand new ship the pirate just blew up might be just a bunch of ones and zeros but it means something to you.
-Frankly the ability to get even with a pirate sucks in this game. If you can't get back at the pirate for podding you, your resentment is just going to grow. There is no sense of sportsmanship in the game. No one wants to play against a stacked deck.
-Finally, piracy tends to attract the griefers and exploiters. One jerk pirate can easily sour a player against all pirates even those who are just trying to 'play the game'.

Elemer, your kill list is simply incorrect, we've lost no BBs in recent history. quite some months ago we did, but it had nothing to do with this war. I applaud the propaganda war, but that's all it is, propaganda.

Aye, but it was 15 kills 1 was a loss to sentry due to my crappy handling of torpedoes.
Meanwhile HardCorpse just sat in their station doing nowt, next time please dont sit and moan at us in local.
The 35million ransom/30% of what you mine/merge with us thing is not extortion, its a insurance, because we KNOW you have lost 35+million in ships and probably more in time lost making isk, we play this game for fun because we want to, we dont exploit, we dont smack talk, we play for fun, by the chatlogs I have from local chat you'd think we had stolen your babies or something.
Absolutely disgusting.
