Then you're stupid because it definitively is PVP. |

I don't know if I want to start with the fact that people who get ganked actually are armed most of the time, or by pointing out that its completely irrelevant whether or not the involved parties are armed.
The thing that makes a particular interaction "Player Versus Player" is that the involved parties are all players (this is what the Ps in PVP mean) and that one is trying to do something that that the other wants the other wants them to fail at (This is the Versus, which is the V).
It bothers me that I have to explain a three word, simple English phrase that is its own definition to another (presumably) adult human being. |

Well for a start I wouldn't make a statement about the quality of something based on a single derived percentage of a single quantitative value.
The only actual information you can get from someone having 100% of their kills being from ganking in highsec is that they have some amount of experience ganking in highsec.
And the quality of their experience is irrelevant anyway since regardless of how much experience they have, or how successful they've been it's still a kind of experience of a kind of PVP activity. |

Individuals changing their personal definition of PVP arbitrarily to encompass only specific activities doesn't explain any of those things either, it just highlights their personal bias and makes conversation difficult because they're using a term to mean something other than what, by its definition, it actually means.
It's not helpful and it's not informative. It's annoying and it's wrong.
You can like or dislike any given PVP activity as much or as little as you like, but you don't get to write-in your own definition comprised exclusively of things you approve of and still get taken seriously in a conversation. |

The post-modernism is palpable. |
