Personally, I have absolutely nothing against ganking. In fact, I think it livens up the game. In fact, I even tried it for a few days but erasing notoriety was such a pain that it was just not worth it. These days I limit myself to killing CMDRs that are pledged to a hostile power.
On average about 30% of the people I chase, simply log out to menu. Guess what. I am perfectly fine with that! I even tell them that it is completely within the rules for them to do so as stated here:

Let nobody else tell you otherwise! Do I do it myself? If I meet obnoxious gankers, yes... most definitely I will mess with them.. as I know it will trigger them even more than destroying their Vette. These days a rebuy means absolutely nothing.
Now I do understand the other side of the story as well. PvP is pretty much hardly playable as it is even now even without logging out. With a G5 engineered FDL (which most PvPers fly) the only way to fight until death is to pretty much agree before hand.. otherwise it is easy to escape even after few minutes of fighting.
For those that want to decrease the number of people logging off while in combat/interdicted I would suggest a different approach. Ask people nicely not to do it, don't throw a tantrum just because you can't play the game by the rules. If a CMDR that is actively trying to kill me asks me nicely not to log out or even high-wake I am much more likely to cooperate than a CMDR that is spewing hate towards me for playing the game within the rules given by FDEV.
