In contemplating life more, I have come to the conclusion that vengeance is not something that should fall into the purview of my nature. Therefore, my new diplomatic stance is that I will not mete out revenge for attacks against me. If you take one of my planets, I will not retaliate. If I happen to be online during an attack, I will defend my home. I will continue to avoid attacking those that seem to be actively playing and will limit my attacks to those dead accounts in an effort to put them to rest.
