So I've calmed down some and here's my opinion.
I completely understand you, and I feel sorry that you have found that EVE isn't the game for you. EVE is a niched game, one that is hard to appreciate, especially right away, and especially if you are so used to other MMO's that you expect EVE to be more or less the same. Because it isn't.
EVE is a harsh environment, and while nobody (almost) thinks what that guy did to you was cool, some of us still feel that there shouldn't be anything stopping him from doing it. This is the sandbox that is EVE. (Although, I should say that in this particular case, I believe that it is a matter of griefing that isn't allowed even in EVE, so you might want to petition it.)
What I am trying to say here is that the sooner you learn that pop-ups are there for a reason, and that you really cannot trust anyone you just met, the better it is for you, and the further you will go in EVE. Some people can play years in EVE, completely lulled into a false sense of security, and then, BAM, they loose almost all they have in one go, simply because they where not prepared for the fact that all space is dangerous, and everyone might be out to kill you. You learned this right away, and you didn't loose anything for the lesson. It's easy for me to say that you should take this lesson and get on with your EVE life, but I can understand if you want to quit over this.
It is clear to me that you are used to games like WoW. You speak of levels when there are no levels in EVE. You do not have a real grasp of what kind of game this is. This is nothing unique to you, but everyone who is here has learned to play the game, and persevered during hard times. EVE is a hobby more than a game. If you are looking for a relaxing pastime to play only when you feel like it, and only in a manner of your chosing without the interference of other people, then EVE definately isn't the game for you.
Anyway, I've lost my track here, but I do feel you should give it another go. Read up some on the forums. Get a feel for the game, and then jump into the pilot's seat once more.
