Am i being old fashioned

[Slainte]

Is it just me, ( probably ) or do you think that some pirates should actually work for a living instead of sitting 3 or 4 k away from a trader shouting " stop or you die " and expect that trader just to stop and be taxed ? or do you think that if the pirate says " stop or you die " ( repeating myself, i know ! ) he should at least follow it up with a cruise disrupter to do the actual stopping ?
I fly a trader with no countermeasure mounted and im sure that if i get disrupted by a pirate i will stop and pay the tax in due coarse. Same if im in a trade lane and i get bumped out by a pirate i will pay the tax ( only good rp ) or , indeed, been had buy a very good trap ( courtesy of the OPG, very nicely done guys ) i will pay the tax.
BUT, i will run if ordered to stop from a distance. Now i know that ive read elswhere in the forums that if you dont stop when caught by a pirate he has every right to kill you, no questions asked when, and if,he catches up ( and they usually do:)) but to told to stop from a distance and then told " you will die " when you dont, is a pretty poor show from a pirate i think because in my opinion i dont think i was caught at all, just spotted on his scanner. C,mon you pirates, if your gonna be one at least work a bit for your money. I enjoy the chase when i see a pirate on my scanner and will try to avoid him if i can and its very seldom i get away from them but sometimes i do get a bit riled when this happens. If he had caught me and then blew me out of the sky who is in the wrong ? me for not stopping because i didnt think i was caught or him ?
Now before anyone jumps in with " you should hire escorts then " i do most of the time, but sometimes its exciting to do trade runs on your lonesome. And lets face it, even with escorts a pirate in a big gunboat with uber shields and weps hasn't got much to worry about has he?
My apologies for rambling on a bit here but my wife, 3 kids, 2 cats, 1 hamster and the rabbit are giving me a headache :D
Fly safe now
