OP is wrong. Take WoW for example, people still hate to die in WoW, yet the only death penalty is a piddly amount of repair fee and having to walk back to your corpse.
Or even guild wars, arena style pvp with literally no death penalty. What happens? Every other game you get a guy that refuses to simply fight and die and just runs in circles in hopes of dragging the game out forever.
A lot of people online get very angry at losing, even if there is no death penalty. And most of these people are what we would call carebears in eve.

** Time wise very difficult to support a POS without better cargo volumes then a blockade runner - i have one but just could not keep up fuel without running the freighter.
Thats like complaining one person cant run a titan building constellation. There are things in the game that require more than one person. Do you raid MC in wow with 1 guy?

** 13 months / 3 hours a day / 3 accounts - saved 1.8 billion to buy a freighter and POS set up plus countless millions on intermediatary ships. Not looking for any shortcut just not interested in missioning - and not sure of any other way to run a POS in > 0.5 space. My comment was around getting your standing raised in another way ie say volume of ore mined or rates paid in processing to local stations.Its about appealing to a wider audience.
How is mining ore or paying them to process the said ore remotely beneficial to the faction from an RP stand point? The whole point of missions is your doing works for them, so in return they like you better. You want to anchor pos in empire? Then work up the standings like everybody else.
Alternatively, there are corps out there that offer standing services so you can anchor pos etc.

** all 3 alts were online 2 were in cloaked covert ops on each side of gate - unfortunately the pirates were claoked on each side of gate too!
This is where you screwed up. You do NOT rely on just a scout to get a freighter through. Your scout on the lowsec side? It shouldve been in the same corp as your freighter, and in a hyena or rapier/huginn. The moment your freighter jumps through, inititate warp and have your alt web it, you will warp instantly.
It doesnt matter than the veto guys were cloaked on the gate as well, since recons have a sensor recalibration time and stealthbombers/black ops have a huge scan resolution penalty from fitting the cloak, you WILL get a lock and web before they can lock and scram your freighter.

** couldn't agree more - still large capitals / freighters will always be a large single investment.
I could withstand losing any of my freighter runs without too much loss. It would hurt, but it wouldnt be crippling. Just because its a large invenstment does not mean it should be all your assets.

Since when does my insurance not cover my car when I drive into Newark ? The poster of this comment must not be able to drive and/or does not pay for insurance therefore does not understand how it works.
Since when do you have a machine gun fitted to your car? You think your insurance company will cover your car if you fit a M2 to the roof and start doing drive bys on Coalition troops in Iraq because you're trying to get standings up with the Islamic Jihad?
The post of this comment must not able to drive and/or does not pay for insurance and therefore does not understand how it works.
