Well I started to go through your blog but I was onto page 3 of older posts and...
I think that CCP should have a hisec carebear focus group which focus on making it fun for people who just want to play casual which would be a counter weight to the get them out of hisec 0.0 crowd hammering away at CCP. What do you think?
Personally I think ganking is in a good place at this point, except for a couple of things, the first is bumping, this makes it too easy and very annoying for the freighter pilot needs to be sorted. There are a number of ways this can be dealt with, but having a no consequence way of pointing someone for hours if they wanted is very poor game play. My preferred option is to put a bump counter on that after 20 bumps there is a an increasingly random chance that the bumper will go suspect when bumping a freighter.
Another change would be removing docking rights fro -5 or worse, there are now citadels in hisec, that will hopefully change how people look at ganging together and going after ganker citadels or those that give them docking rights.
The Astrahus and Raitaru have to have better cap and improved defences, the missile system in hisec is too weak and needs improving, perhaps an alternative is some very effective RR ability on those citadels which will make people more likely to defend them.
War decs, the system is in my opinion actually quite good, but need a few tweaks, the first is cap the war dec fee against major alliances, the second is give the locator agent the ability to say if someone is online as a request, but add in that if the agents corp has good standings with the player being asked about they will warn him of the interest, this also replies to the location request. I would make the war dec follow a character if he joins another player run corp within the week of the war dec, but on the other hand I would also limit the time that entities with less than 50 charactes can be war decked, perhaps two weeks max.
Hisec is made up mainly of people with support and indy accounts in hisec which is why it is so stale, but another reason is that people who are actually more hisec focused and casual play so as not to be noticed by war deckers who they have no chance of fighting effectively. That is a statement of the issue in hisec, but changing it is not easy because as you quite rightly pointed out it is I rather than we that is the issue here. I was hoping tah people would gang together to keep Citadels alive but they are so weak and the issue of not being able to rep allies in the war dec screws that one, CCP needs to change it so thath RR can be applied to allie sin a war. I know that this will benefit war deckers too, but only when they come in as defending allies....
Anyway a few things for you to respond to, or develop further.
When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.
