Ninjasalvaging, as you might already know, is the act of probing down hisec mission runners and salvaging the wrecks they leave behind. As you can imagine, this ****es off a lot of missionrunners and as such has lead to a lot of delicious tears on these very forums.
Right. That last sentense says it clearly. This is a griefing practice and nothing else. It's not about making ISK.
You'll get no "delicious tears" from me I have no problems avoiding or dealing with griefers, and I spend most of my time in 0.0 anyway where this sort of players can't hide under the comforting blanket of CCP protection. However, I would wish that you people stopped pretending it's actually about the ISK.
I guess that does make you feel better than to admit it's just a way to derive pleasure from destroying other peoples fun, cause that does sound a bit pathetic, doesn't it? Never the less, it's the only thing this is about and you should stop being hypocritical about it.
Yeah I know. Now there will be posts from griefers saying they make 47 mil every 5 minutes from "ninja salvaging" but it's BS. Anyone who don't believe me can try this simple test: when you get scanned out on a mission and the griefer starts salvaging you wrecks, blow the wrecks up before he gets to them. If it was about the ISK he'd leave (obviously since there are no iskies to be made) but he won't. In fact he will enjoy it even more since he now got proof that you are annoyed. Try it, and ffs stop pretending this is about ISK rather than boosting feeble egos by ruining other peoples fun.

Complaints about the justice of ninja salvaging come in two competing varieties:
1. There is no money to be made in it, they could just be running missions themselves--and who doesn't LOVE to do missions?--so obviously they're just doing it to grief meh.
2. ZOMG it's risk free mega isks!
These two contradictory viewpoints seem to be split about 50/50, which is amusing.
What's your point?
The second argument is uninformed and wrong. How does that in any way invalidate the first argument which is correct?
Edit:
Besides, I wasn't complaining about the practice itself. I was complaining about you guys being hipocritical, not admitting that this is about griefing.

Both arguments are largely uninformed and wrong. The second one almost by definition. The first, more by exaggeration and overgeneralization (plus a good bit of narcissism.)
Not quite. You've said nothing that makes it less valid.
Most of you are just smart enough to realize that it wouldn't be very bright to take the bait and admit it's first and foremost about ruining other peoples enjoyment of the game.
