Seeking rules clarification

[mazdamack]

this is all ooc. and please forgive my bad grammar and spelling

i am here to play by the rp rules. my char is a very greedy, capitalist pig. i charge high fees for loans and transfers. i dont beleive in taxes even if they are to pay for jump gates, trade lanes, or to pay some pirates starving children in some backwater omega system that cnat even afford to hire police (okay, so that last part was in character)

i will change the names to protect the innocent.

earlier to day i (Trader ID) was talking in chat to a group member and dodging pirates in the New Berlin system. I was outside an outpost (the one west of Planet New Berlin) when i was attacked by a pirtae (or so i guess, i didnt have a chance to scan) and he demanded tax. Since i was only 500 m from the docking port, I decided to flee inside the base. all engagements were in the scope of rp - that much is stipulated. after chatting with the pirate, it was clear he was going to attack me as soon as i left. so here is my question - was i considered to be fleeing and was he allowed to re-engage.

accordiv to pvp rules docking is considered fleeing, but he told me that this is rp rules. i have read the rules page throughly and understand them, but do pvp rules apply to rp engagements? should i have been allowed to leave in peace (although woith my tail firmly tucked between my legs) and not return for 4 hours?
