Is it wrong for the Largest Alliance in the game to be able to use their overwhelming resources from 0.0. to build and suicide Battleships, just to harrass and ruin the game experience in empire space, for some many people, those that don't want to take part in 0.0 affairs? It is wrong.
It's unethical in the extreme but since when has being unethical been "wrong" in Eve? I'd be mad at them if they suicide ganked me, but there's enough Goon newbs around that you can always find someone to get revenge on. You can also hang around known killzones in Empire and just loot the goon wrecks.

I sympathize, but there's really nothing surprising about this. Goonswarm has stated from day one they are in EVE to break it, and ever since they've been trying various ways to do this. Now that they're the dominant 0.0 power they are turning toward the vast majoirty of the players in the game, which do reside in empire and hardly leave, and are becoming "terrorists".
Now there are many solutions to this from the miner perspective. One in particular I'll advance because it's my area of "expertise": Hire mercenaries against Goonswarm. I've seen the killboard link and quite frankly any decently equipped merc corp would be able to nip an aspiring Goon ganker in the bud. Sure it would be expensive, but if several victems pooled their resources and bargined collectivly, it wouldnt be all that bad compared to the increased costs and loss of peace of mind Goonswarm is currently causing.
Dont expect the playerbase to defend or pity support you because you got suicide ganked alongside a few hundred others. Not much in EVE gets done through charity, anything being related to Chribba being a notable exception. However, I'll put it forward that my corp would be more than happy to be the, or one of the, units contracted for such an undertaking. Get organized, pool your resources, and contract out to those who specialize in what you need done.
And on top of this don't assume for a second that the Goons are going to remain as strong as they are today. When the Coalition has finished circle jerking over BoB they'll just turn on each other. That will be especially true if the Goons continue to victimize random people not involved with alliance ops.
