This was not a case of me thinking people should "wait to attack", heck, I was the one who attacked first.  There is a difference between aggressive expansion and what has happened this game.
But hey, none of that matters.  In the spirit of aggressive, out of game diplo being the mark of a 'good player', I'm still looking for allies.  
I know.. if I was really good, I'd have handled this diplo stuff prior to game kick off, but I'm still learning
