As BAF| 2IC, I'll be replying to your question and the interaction from the BAF|, BMM, Bowex) PoV.
Basically, the Molly player attacked a convoy with GB escorts and other escorts. From what I have been told the RP the Molly player supplied was slightly above minimum. The players online in those ships were more than willing to RP with the Molly. However, the Molly jumped straight into the "2millordie" - according to the players I have spoken to. The Molly was not shot at for oorp reasons, quite the opposite. He pirated a convoy and so the convoy kind of got it's revenge. I believe the Molly ended up getting support from a Hessian cruiser which destroyed one of the GBs.
So in short the answer is no: The Molly player should not believe the convoy wanted to "gank the crap" out of him.
I hope this clarified a bit more of what happened on the other screens and what the other players were thinking and acting upon. If you have any more queries then feel free to post here.
