Honor Farming in BGs

I bring this subject up for one ironic reason: Every time I see someone farming honor in a BG, I respond by reporting them AFK, then telling everyone in battlegrounds chat to also report them AFK. The last six times I have done this, the person who I'm reporting effectively gets in a hissy fit with me for bringing it up, and ends up calling me an @$$.
Is there something I'm missing here? They are the ones that are hacking the game, and they feel like I'm the one who should get a licking? They have the audacity to give me a whisper speech for the whole BG while they sit back and basically hold up a perfectly good spot? Seriously, if they are indeed watching their chat messages, then they can't be AFK. Why not just participate in the game instead of sitting at your computer screen watching the text scrolls go off?

If you guys couldn't figure out the
great complexities
of my post, I'm talking about people who sit in a corner of the BG and do nothing to contribute to the game. People who come into the BG, sit around while they sip their cups of coffee, and get honor at the end of the game just for being there. Is it seriously that hard to understand?

+1 here
Come on, I can't rememeber how many times someone in AV for ex. started with "Lets do this" or explaining what you are supposed to do for "is sure win" and then, when the gate opens up, everybody charges to Balinda or Blacksmith or whatever and they just stand there and do nothing .... except flaming "wtf afk rogues, please try to cap some tower/BS/etc dont just stand under that tree" .... there may even not be a single rogue in the fight.....
Doing this ^^ does not make u "smarter than the other noobs", what is does is make u a retart afk-er that everyone trying to contribute to the win hates and WILL report AFK if he/she has the opportunity. This is the same behaviour like someone on "Autofollow"-the-tank in a pug heroic or OS or Naxx or whatever. These ppl have always been around and my guess is they will be in the future, too, cause actually trying to do something for the team (although all you have is a De-Rage Axe and crafted Savage Saronite set, ex.) is hard for them and they'd better afk in the BG and wait till they get the honor to get the latest pvp purchasable set and pewpew whatever they see.... It really makes me sad when I have to play with such ppl but hey, the other team alse have them so.. its not such a big deal after all.

Being AFK =/= honor farming. I just stealth by the people who fight on the road/bridge in AV and get credit for all the hks.

^this
Honor farming is what I do on my shaman and druid. Charge straight to the blacksmith and defend it. That way you recieve credit for all the kills your team makes during the battle.
If someone from the opposing team shows up, kill them. But 90% of the time I am left alone and just sit and watch my honor tick up. I usually get 1500-2k honor from a single game. And that's not on a holiday weekend.
This. But the key to the whole thing is that you actually defend the node if it gets attacked. You're not AFK, you're playing smart. And if someone complains about it, $%^& them, they're stupid.
I love defending Blacksmith.

0 honor, 0 xp and 0 marks if you lose would solve it, if you don't play to win you are wasting your time.. Rewarding people for losing a BG is just as retarded as giving boss drops for wiping in an instance, it just lowers the effort people put into it all..
Ummm....no it wouldn't. The afkers ran by bots would still queue for bgs just to get the honor(and experience) gained if their team wins.
