Something that I always thought of to this day...
Back when I was beautiful, I was roaming the local Low Sec system which doesn't get too much traffic. I am aware of a pirate hub a few jumps away and another to the north but they come to the area about once a week.
Anyways, I was roaming solo in my Arbitrator when I saw that someone was in local. I warp to a belt and see a Hurricane about 50km off. I warp away and leave system. I return shortly to find the Hurricane still in system. I wasn't confident of my ability to engage a Hurricane in an Arbitrator. I fly them well but not well enough to engage a Hurricane. I warp out again and rush to where I kept my Zealot and come back. Sure enough, the Hurricane was still in the system and I finally engage.
I kept range from the Hurricane due to my MWD and after 5 minutes, the Hurricane finally pops. The pod, however, doesn't warp off and sits there until I get my disruptor on it. After a nice talk with the Hurricane pilot about not calling for reinforcements or a gang, I decided that I couldn't really pod them and unlock the pod as they warped off. I could have easily podded them, collected a corpse and add another notch to the nose of my Zealot but I choose not to.
A while later, I see a cyno field go up in another system while roaming in my Harbinger. I warp to it to find a Stealth Bomber sitting there who greeted me in local. I target and wait for a second before unlocking. This was an active cynoboat. Was this really a kill worthy of gloating about? I then warp off to a gate and nearly catch an Impel but oh, well...
Does this make me a bad pirate? I had two easy kills that I could have easily added to my board but chose not to.

Your risk for reading is your punishment, then.

Insufficient information to determine a view tbh. If you could tell us how many times you have kersploded a n00b in his/her brand new cruiser type ride and then felt retrospective guilt, followed by the overwhelming urge to transfer isk to the hapless victim of your wrath... and then actually paid the isk - that would help a lot. If the answer is zero, then I wouldn't worry your pretty little head about it... it was probs just cos you had the painters in. Now pop the kettle on treacle and make us a nice cuppa, huh?
Quite the opposite, really. I find nothing more enjoyable than scramming a n00bs pod and then give a speech on how I am going to take their corpse to Asgard.

Then I'd say you have nothing to worry about. Probably just a phase. Do take care though and don't let these moments of mercy become too much of a habit.
It was awhile ago.
Less than a week ago, a n00b asked me not to kill them. I merely replied that I was the Spear that smites Evil and that their soul will not be permitted to Asgard.
I got some pretty interesting tears where they called me the **** of Loki.
