Fun with pirates...

Believe it or not, pirates are actually good for something!
While jumping around in search of fun missions, I was attacked by a couple of Forsaken citizens -- some Hyenas and Koalas, no threat to my ship. However, those guys had been after me a while now -- I don't know why but they're a major PITA... and being kinda fed up with it, I decided to blast this group to oblivion.
Bad idea.
While still in the fight, a couple of Andolian Franklins start attacking me. In the heat of the fight I didn't notice straight away that they weren't Forsaken, and I blasted one of them, then docked to a nearby station to look for a new bounty mission.
Upon undocking I find myself attacked by 6 or 7 Andolian Franklins, backed by a Confed Lancelot
I got blasted this time, respawned, checked my status... the only positive relations were with the Aera and Luddites, exactly the opposite of what I want 
And now we come to the part where pirates came to the rescue (in a manner of speaking)... hoping to improve my relations somewhat, I accepted a bounty mission on a couple of pirates, narrowly escaped the Franklins and Lancelot still after my butt, and blasted the pirates. Docked to save, relations better but still negative everywhere. So I undocked, and noticed there were a lot of other pirates in the system
22 dead pirates later (3 Thales, the rest Plowshares) my relations are at 100 for everyone (except pirates, Uln, and Forsaken, which are at -100)
So in a way, those pirates really saved my butt... Not to mention I got some fighting practice in my brand new Admonisher and enough credits to get autotracking on my weapon mounts... In short: thanks to all pirates
*EDIT* Woops, this was supposed to go in the "A funny thing happened..." forum, sorry
