Motivation is where you find it. Never underestimate the lengths that a man will go to to punish someone he deems worthy of the treatment. This stands +100% in EVE.
For EVE is a harsh mistress, and for most death is the ultimate teacher. Thankfully its just a game and we can learn from our mistakes.

I think that is were the balance is lacking.
The bears right the balance by fleeting up and defending each other. Also simply not AFK mining, watching local, gathering intel on gankers and paying attention to where they are would be a step in the right direction. You can't really stop someone determined to kill you regardless of cost but you can use the same resources he uses to find you to instead find him. Also would it really kill the bears to fit a few frigs and give these guys something to think about. Frigs are cheap and enough of them could really do something.
Also, whats stopping the bears from getting more organized into bigger corps, larger alliances, and war deccing the Pirate Corps behind all of this? Is it fear? Like I said before, Frigs are cheap.

Or being able to kick corp members in space which ensures hilarity if that corp member was a ninja griefer who just joined to kill corp members.
Using the game mechanics in an anti-pirate way = ebil/wrong/fail
Using game mechanics in an anti-carebear way = sooo tough/badass/win/trololo
Personally i enjoy both as i don't mind either and i get to enjoy watching both sides whine like little babies.
You and I Sirrah, we see the same things I think.

I think that is were the balance is lacking. The 'prey' could always tank their hulks, or not cart around 1b of stuff in a T1 Industrial, and there have been plenty of pirate tears threads. For example: Whaa Whaa why don't I get insurance from my ship being destroyed by Concord anymore!?!? Assuming by pirate tears you mean ganker tears
ACE, popping someone for a case of stupid is not ganking, it would be a sin to do anything else becuase some lessons are expensive. Those are the best kind in my opinion. I only have issue with jerks being jerks for the sake of being jerks.
