So true. And yea, you're correct in that I'm very thin skinned in what comes to language - be shot at, fine, be bad mouthed even in the sligthest, not fine.
A very unhappy interdictor

Seriously, FD are now meant to be the Text Police !?!
Yeah, one game I play, I go by the handle of Sassy Lady. Cause I'm sassy and I know it.
As for the guy trying to kill a T6 without asking for cargo, that's just wrong. Were I ever to pirate (unlikely in the extreme), I'd ask for enough cargo to fill my bay and on receiving it, politely thank him for not making me kill him. But just to attack without asking for goods? Very unwise financial choice. From what I understand, cargo doesn't eject upon destruction but goes up with the ship. I saw that prize for the first to reach Elite status. I thought it was a bad idea then and I've seen nothing to change my mind. All it seems to do is encourage mindless killing. But I won't complain about it. I love this game and have no complaints whatsoever.

What those mindless killers fail to gather tho is that killing clean (and possibly defenseless) targets has no positive impact whatsoever in their score.
On a totally unrelated matter, do you live in or near San Francisco?
I was on a trade run, did the same as you, turned from the star and started to charge my jump engines. As soon as they started charging an interdiction started.
Didn't bother fighting it, guy had 1 red block to fill to complete as I entered super cruise and was gone...Bah-bye!
Must have thought I had mad skillz bra
No, I do not. Why do you ask?
Really? I thought every kill counted toward Elite status, whether the target was defenseless or not, whether the target was clean or not. The feeling I got was that the Elite Federation goes by kills only in the rankings. They might issue a bounty on such a person, but a kill is a kill no matter what.
Frequent use of the words "toxic" and "problematic" are red flags for something on an entirely different subject. I'm not implying you specifically have been using them a lot or anything, but I finally asked someone because for some reason I've been seeing the word "toxic" show up a lot on these forums lately, and I'm trying to determine if it's an indication of something or it's no big deal.
