I am somewhat carebear as in I don't look out for PvP if I am doing something else. I am playing on Tich (PvP), btw.
In general I don't attack grey players, and even low-50s have quite a leeway from me, depending on my mood. Especially if I am heading somewhere, I don't bother dismounting. I don't charge into lost battles, esp. vs higher numbers.
OTOH if the alliance is where I need to go and/or competing for my resources, I'm going to gank them with no remorse. If I need to get to Myranda and there are 2 lvl 52s grinding, I will wait for them to get to half life and then gank - in this situation I am not going to sheepisly going to wait until they think it's a good time to kill me.
It highly depends on my mood and especially if I have something else to do when deciding if I should or not attack.
Red definitely does not mean dead to me. One of the most funny experience I had was with 3 other Basiners when we were farming Elemental Fire in Arathi. First we let any lowbie alliance to get their quest in there. And then after killing one NElf warrior, we let her just compete with us for tapping elementals because she was not aggressive. We were sheeping her mid-charge etc. and had a lot of fun doing that. We mercilessly ganked any aggressive alliance that wanted to farm there too, though. We partly used this approach to avoid some kind of revenge party from nearby AV entrance.
