You did fine. They taunt you, you taunted them. No problem.
Thing is emotionally we all get a bit excitable when some thieving pirates comes after us and its easy to get carried away in 'on screen chat' (I have been guilty of swearing in the past at the injustice of my on screen death!) but then if you had just lost your ship, cargo and launched an excape pod in real life you'd most certainly let a few 'gosh-darn-its' out!
Top tip....spend some of the cash on another character parked well away from your troubles so when this happens next time you can park up and leave it there and turn your attention to your other ship. And before anyone even toys with the idea of flaming that as non-RP think-on. Having just evaded cut-throat pirates your ship would need repairs and you would need a stiff drink. Both of which mean you wouldn't rush out to die in open space just to satisfy the blood lust of a one-eyed, parrot shouldered pirate!
