I am guessing that you are playing in 1v1 or 2v2 games. I cant remember the last time I saw that behavior, however, I am always in 8 player games. In small games, you must do as you did. List the opponents behavior, and try to avoid them. The problem is that it is nice to start open games, and the jerks can join. I have seen some odd behavior in my latest league, and now my curiosity is fired up. Time to hunt.
Gentlemen (and gentlewoman) pilots, please, consider this:
if you wouldn't have the chance to behaving, to say so, "cowardly", where would be the worth of an honourable behavior? Would you like to be a loyal and honourable pilot only because you are forced to?
(Please, note that the previous opinion was issued only to honourable pilots. Not honourable pilots may obviously feel free to ignore it...

Here's an alternative suggestion not already mentioned; you could just get ahead of him to begin with, and force him to chase you.
i just watched the movie recently on AMC...so i am pretty sure i got the quote right
No one ever won a war by dying for his country...
you win a war by making the other poor dumb son of a bitch die for HIS country
*General George Patton*
honour and heroism were outmoded concepts pretty much from the onset of gunpowder...some would say the longbow...to argue about it is to ignore the reality of war
Reading your post, I suddenly realized, while sitting at my desktop and drinking a cup of tea: "My god, this is the reality of war!"
Tornade, no offence is intended, but you can't seriously talk about the "reality of war" while your "fights", as mine, happen between a cup of tea and a chat with your friends, comfortably sitting on your sofa, with a lot of time available to think about the possible manoeuver of your opponent and the best counter-manoeuver you can do...
I have played more than four hundred games, and lost two thirds of them, in the most cases for a "Plane explodes!" or a "Pilot killed". Can you imagine how many lifes would I have needed to be here now?
I'm not compelled to struggling desperately to kill my enemy, or simply to survive, as it would be in a real war: so, please, allow me the luxury of trying to have fun in the company of nice people, and playing not to win, but just for the taste of a good game, possibly a honourable one.
Yours sincerely
