The most comprehensive definition I've managed to find for "salty" (which is where we get "salt" as a noun, meaning something that leads to things being "salty") is this one.

It's a reference to the salt found in tears. Which despite being reasonably common knowledge many people trying to research the actual amounts found in real tears seemed to struggle to find enough lacrimal fluid to do any controlled test; clearly they haven't been round here much.
THANKS, I kinda figured that was the gist.
One CMDR uses (insert handwavium excuse) to bring "emergent content" to another CMDR, typically blowing up the latter's ship. This player may complain in-game; on Reddit; or on these forums about the incident.
The original CMDR has now "mined salt" from the second, who is "salty".
Unfortunately it's very hard to work out what's going on mostly: who was to "blame"; if said emergent content was valid or not; if the second player was even "salty" (as oft they are not, but the first tries to claim saltiness anyway).
Hang about enough either at a CG (Community Goal) or on the forums, and you'll soon spot some this going on.
Yeah, as already stated: It is salt mined from the tears of (*angry, red. " off"* )crybabies.

U.S. slang sense of "angry, irritated" is first attested 1938 (probably from similar use with regard to sailors, "tough, aggressive," attested by 1920), especially in phrase jump salty "to unexpectedly become enraged." Related: Saltily.

Salty: Sexy, racy, angry, irritated, crybaby, easily triggered. "The salt of angry tears of the easily annoyed." - And then you make up (by producing more crybabies perhaps).

Poking the hornets nest, in the nude, with a pokey stick again Bill?????
No, just you guys use words differently then us yanks, making sure I 'm on the same page. Again, it's the terminology, along with all the various acronyms, that nakes the learning curve longer.
*poke* - so this is what you call a hornets nest eh? - *poke poke* - what does it do?
Just remember "Don't Feed the Trolls"...and specially not after midnight.
