More specifically, why the hate towards me for being a miner for simply mining?

I have been playing Eve since 2004. Since day one I have mined. I enjoy mining. I am to mining what some of the top end pilots are to PvP. I enjoy every aspect of mining, especially the ôbusiness simö part of it.

I never complain on these forums about mining or its mechanics. I have been pretty happy with the overall ôclassö and have had some very interesting adventures in my time here.

Recently though, some people have been trying my patience by:

1.Being harassed in belts by n00b ôpiratesö in high sec trying to get me to shoot at their shuttle. We all know why. I just ignore them.
2.Ore thieves stealing from jet cans. It has gotten so bad I just use a Hulk with cargo extenders in high sec.
3.Constant PMÆs asking if I am a bot or if I am ôthereö. Some PMÆs just calling me derogatory names assuming I am not at the keyboard. I turned off my PMÆs.
4.Eve hate mails saying I am ruining the game but never telling me how. I am assuming it is because ôallö miners are bots.
5.In local channel people call miners (especially ice miners) all sorts of derogatory names just for mining there.

Over the years it has gotten a little worse year by year.

Some might call me a carebear (even though I can probably show you a thing or two in my Raven with my capped missile/shield/drone skills) and some might not understand why I enjoy mining. No matter what you think of my game play or my preference, it truly is none of your concern and definitely does not give anyone the right to treat others like some of you have been.

The point I want to make is. I mine. Leave me alone. If you do not, you will be reported to CCP for harassment.
