I only play since 7 years so not sure about the past but since I play I saw countless miners throwing tantrums on the forums and elsewhere, not rarely also threatening reporting the “griefers” involved.
Including similar behavior ingame as well (where they also tended to throw in some real-life threats and other “polite” stuff to spice their tantrums up).
To be fair not all of them were miners, or were not flying mining ship at the time at least, but probably they all fall under the umbrella term “carebear”.
So I’ve just based my assumption on these facts.
Edit: Just an example from personal experience…
