Just sitting here, nomming on my popcorn with this running through my head.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PANVSt8-M2M
I'm gonna assume, based off the repeated usage of the word "collaborative", that Veers believes that high sec pvp is not. Do go on.

I sometimes feel a bit conflicted about the whole good vs evil thing in games, as I've seen other online games die due to one side getting an upper hand that becomes overwhelming. Hell, I've personally killed at least one MUD by actually playing 'evil'. It happens... With EVE's various regions and types of space it's not a realistic outcome however, as tides will continually shift.
EVE NEEDS villains for the white knights and other do gooders to have some tangible opposition that isn't NPC in nature. Thinking opponents make for meaningful accomplishments when defeated. It's more than 'oh hey guyz, I figured out the strat we need to use on the raid boss!'. Groups on both sides of the law keep things interesting and a little bit dangerous in the game, and I think that's one of the factors that has kept it alive for so long. Likewise, white knights, rebels, cat herders and whatnot are all just as necessary to keep things active.
The funny thing is that I've found that the evil guys tend to be more social, but not always. I ran into some spunky miners the other day when I was dinking around with a venture, when I returned in an Enyo I learned just how much pain a pair of skiffs with t2 drones could bring to the table. After scampering off with ass on fire we got to chatting, they then sicced me on another batch of miners in a different system, that got me chuckling.
Point being, that some folks just need the bars of their cages rattled now and then to remind them that they aren't alone, and that playing with others isn't a terrible thing.

Edit: Stupid fax machine at work not functioning. I will neither confirm nor deny as to whether or not attempting to fax bacon has had any impact on this sad state of affairs.
Also, stuck here for 12 hours instead of the usual eight. Coherency degrading. Wait what... you can FAX BACON??? mind blown
You surely can try. As I currently have the fax machine set to terrible standings I feel it justified to at least make the attempt. I regret that my boss knows me too well for the 'play stupid' ploy to have any chance of success.

Citing the one place where pvp is not okay does not validate your opinions regarding the rest of the region.
That's just squirrely nonsense.
Some forms of nonconsensual PvP are criminal acts there. The other forms you personally are opposed to. If you had your way high sec would be nothing but duels and arenas for pvp and everyone else could happily mine up their iron ore or hunt boars in the forest unmolested.

"You mean to say you would actually want to harm those innocent boars?"
The acquisition of bacon is of the utmost importance. While I personally don't engage in much player vs boar action, it is necessary that some do in order for the supply to remain steady.

Veers is Veers. Activate to double the size of any threadnaught he disagrees with. His views are set in stone and no amount of common sense, logic, facts, or persuasion will change that. I've tried. I really have. He's a smart dude, but I keep getting the feeling that he's the product of a gated community and has been spoon fed propaganda his entire life. If this is so, that kind of indoctrination is terribly hard to break, and he himself may break before accepting that his worldview up to this point was based on flawed assumptions. Don't hate him, just encourage him by whatever means to discover that there is fun in this game and it's not what he's been doing.
