A question of perspective

A while ago, I had a serious battle with a bunch of uln and dgn which kept following me - which left some 20 of them reduced to shreads. As a result, the shmrn decided to declare me persona non grata. Which is kind of annoying, because their space is in an important transition region when you fly from rlaan into aera space or into confed space. I had to leave in a bit of a hurry...
Anyway, I had some adventures in rlaan space, shot down multiple pirates, and when I came back, the shmrn had revoked my ban and with a rating of 47 or so, I could enter their space again. Well, they had forgotten - but I had not. And this time, I brought a Clydesdale...
Thus, to bring home the point, I targeted a shmrn mining colony and reduced it to a debris field.
The funny thing is - while the destruction of uln and dgn (which is not their business at all) caused by rating to drop like a rock with the shmrn, they took the destruction of a whole mining outpost including a lot of cargo and presumably crew rather kindly - I still have a positive rating and may fly onward unhindered to target another shmrn space station. Well, this truly seems to be an alien species with its own moral code...
