I doubt you'd be interested in impressing me but if you were to have told a bunch of stories about how you did good guy things and helped the other players defend themselves against the pirates and came back after a long absence to the applause and cheering of the miners, then I would be impressed.
It's not how you do the things you do in game it's what you do that matters.
I don't give two rat farts what you do in game, but bragging about being a dick then berating people that call what you do dickish seems churlish at best.
That "it's a game and nobody knows who I am so I can beat them up with impunity" mentality is pervasive in EVE. Because some people choose not to participate and consider that attitude as unacceptable is a lifestyle choice. You could be more tolerant of their views and just let it go.
