I had not heard of klepto untill recently, unfortunately my first experience with them cost me a hyperion and some time after that a dominix, had another fight with them a few days ago and managed to bring down a drake and hurricane of theirs, during all engagements with them I never recieved any ill mannered chatter in local from them, they always say good fight during or after a fight, and when sentry's deprived me of one of the kill mails, the pilot involved showed good sportsmanship and provided me with the killmail when I asked for it.

I always have respect for pirates that dont smack talk and show respect for their victims/enemies, therfore I would recomend kleptomaniacs to any wannabe or current pirates.

Seeing as infod have been mentioned here I will also mention them, they are an organisation well trained in the art of pvp and I cant take that away from them, unfortunately some of their members are very ill mannered and disrespectful and have said things to me and other old friends in local channels that are nothing short of disgraceful, on that note I'd recomend klepto over infod anyday and wish them luck in their attempt to build a mega sized pirate corp.

I think smacking in local for fun is ok as long as it doesn't cross a line.

As for INFOD, I like them. I used to be a member. But when I say that I like them, I'm speaking about my old friends, guys I have flown with and respect. Grant Smith, DaMiGe, Tassi, Dr Kojak to name a few. It was Grant and DaMiGe that gave me my first opportunity into Piracy.

I still consider them a Pirate Corp, but I'm not sure if they are a pure Pirate Corp. I do know before their recent 'purging' of inactives, they had quite a few positive sec stat members (mains not alts) amongst their ranks.

In KLPTO, we have a timetable for mains to reach -10 to show their loyalty and committment to the Outlaw life. I think thats the only difference between INFOD and KLPTO from a general standpoint.

KLPTO have quite a few former INFOD members and I'm sure still remain friends with their old Corp m8s. It is my hope that we continue this good relationship, and to avoid flaming/smacking each other's Corps on the Forums.

If it happens in good fun in space, after an engagement, this is fine. But lets not bring it here guys.

I do not believe you or anyone else in your corp can justify who is ôpureö and ônot pureö pirates. No offense to your new foundations but it's not like a large portion of your members wont be or have been caught killing NPC's and mission running for income. (I'm using your logic here not mine)

Just to add to another comment mentioned in a previous post. Industrial activities does not define having a ôpoorö pirate outfit. Matter of fact, it's shameful that most pirate organizations don't have more industrial sections mining and making ships for those pirates to lose. However, that's more on poor leadership than intelligence.

Good luck on whatever you do...
