The first step is recognizing that you are the victim because you are weak/inexperienced/etc. The second step is recognizing that in spite of these disadvantages and inexperience, that there are things that *you* can do differently to change the outcome of things that happen to you in game when dealing with these pirates or anyone else really. The third step is seeking out those wiser & more experienced players for guidance and advice on what *you* can do to improve *your* game experience.
These are the steps which you have accomplished already, up until step 3. No one who reads or posts on the forums knows much about anything related to eve really, they're all either newbies themselves or forum trolls. My advice to you is, if you wish to learn about pvp or atleast learn to defend yourself from pirates, is for you to seek out a pirate corp local to your corner of lowsec and join them. A thousand teachers can teach you a thousand lessons and you'll still learn less than you would by actually experiencing it yourself one time in game. You can learn more about eve pvp from a small pirate corp in low sec than you'll ever learn from a big 0.0 blob alliance, because you will never learn anything if you are never personally challenged during pvp. in 6 weeks you'll be able to run circles around a 0.0 only pvper who's been x'ing up for blob warfare every night for the last 6 months. When you do lose an engagement you will know that it was due to something that you did wrong which will teach you what to do better next time so you can avoid the same outcome next time around; all while the blobber will still be blaming "lag" for each and every one of his mistakes.
Most of what he said is trash. 
You learn every time you die. No one wins and thinks, what did I do wrong there, you only evaluate your performance when you lose.
He is right about one thing though, try joining a small pirate corp around your area. To beat pirates you could learn how they operate first.
