From a PVP Noob Carebear
I would like to thank the OP for the tips & comments made, and for opening this thread. It is the first I have read on or about the war between us that hasn't saddened me or made me wonder why I play EVE, and seems to have been preserved in the spirit of the respect which both sides have always claimed to have for each other (the tips were great too).
I would like to thank BoB for every engagement since the war started. I have to admit, I am one of those that honestly believed that I could live in 0.0 and avoid war & combat indefinitely... or at least till I had trained Exhumers V (*cough carebear cough*). I have found this war to be an extremely rude awakening... but a vital one, and one which may have eventually saved my EVE gameplaying experience. Without ever entering this side of EVE, I believe I would have eventually become bored & moved on.
I have been forced to participate in an entire aspect of the game I had avoided. I have to admit, I have grown to love it. PvP is sooo cool. I now 'get' you guys, and why you are aligned & grouped as you are; more power to ya.
Thanks for bringing the fight to us, I think you can tell by our early performance just how much our huge miner/manufacturer/carebear contingent have needed a schooling in Alliance warfare (aside from our uber PvPers who were extremely proficient- I am talking some rank & file). I don't blame our leadership for this; they have always harped on about how we needed to get this & that skilled up. I know that I had trained all that stuff to a bare minimum to tick the '0.0 Alliance' box, and gone back to skilling up Hemo Processing eleventyseven. I now have some 1 1/2 million more SPs in gunnery alone & am knocking on T2 fleet BS... if we stay at war for a couple of months longer, my alt will field a carrier (please don't go anywhere till I can sick some fighters on you  ).
I guess I kinda see this thread as a ray of hope. We are the two most powerful alliances in the game. Perhaps this war will end one of us, but I enjoy fighting you guys. I don't believe in the Hax gods, or the Lag gods, and I am determined to break you hearts in Paragon Soul, but not in a personal way. It's a game, and I would rather play against you guys than some tin pot assortment of clowns who would teach us nothing. Keep it coming BoB. I see you as excellent PvPers, and it is a painful and rewarding process learning combat from you. Perhaps after the war you can come down from Empire and I'll teach you Hemo Processing, jk.
