You do not need to post a siege attack declaration to do that. Poping the shield to deny entry is one thing but assaulting a base is entirely another. Many pirates use this technique and they do not need to post an attack declaration in order to do it.
So no... "jumping the gun" is not people's fault as you have done something that surpasses what you say you only intended to do.
