Okay so it looks like it is just me but when I was super nooby I had a great time of killing vans off and having mine killed off. It was just a really fun (and inexpensive) game to play with people and I don't know why people get so riled up about killing vans.

This is such a trivial matter. Vans are just way to inexpensive to get upset about them...

Personally, I have no issues with people attacking caravans. It's a horse and 10 gold and hardly a loss. Some people argue that they are also losing the resources the caravan gathering however that's still negligible and I don't believe they are your resources until they reach your city anyway. That said however, my opinion seems to be the minority of the community. So if you don't want the potential trouble of someone throwing a fit over a dead caravan then I'd just bump them back.
And now I kind of feel like purposely bumping caravans...XD

Hey, if anyone wants free resources, come harvest on my island! I just leave them there for others.... so feel free.

There may not be a big loss from losing a van, but neither is there a big loss from being bumped. So in general the only reason to kill vans is because it's "fun." Recognizing that many others may find it annoying, I'm not sure what's so "fun" about it. Not exactly challenging to post an army and hope some defenseless van happens to wander into it.

Here is an idea; how about every Wednesday, everyone bumps as many caravans as they can and we can call bump day (a play on hump day lol)!

Have to agree with sunstorm's approach. I personally never harvest and leave the nodes for smaller players to do so. I also allow my alliance mates, confeds, naps, small players with no affiliation to harvest where they choose. My issues with bumping have always ended peacefully, mostly because both of us realized the insignifigance of duking it out over a very small issue.
Having said that though, I also know that some get a thrill from destroying caravans and thats not a problem as long as your prepared to get your army destroyed after you destroy my caravans. For accidental bumping and caravan destroying then diplomacy is the key and should resolve the issue.
For intentional, unprovoked and malicious destruction, especially on a habitual basis, be prepared to accept the consequences. If the consequences are acceptable to you and you decide to pursue this path then have fun and we will see ya on the other side.

And I'm certainly not favouring this just because CZ is my leader. No sir.
