I really never will be able to get over how incredibly RUDE it seems to me for people to simply IGNORE invitations.
Yes, people are often busy with work or family issues, or sick, and I'm sure that they have many more important things to do than talk to me. That doesn't bother me.
Yes, people who really don't know me well may feel that responding to someone they're not familiar with isn't a big priority. I can understand that.
But when people I know well enough to invite to my home don't feel the need to even *reply* to an invitation...
Well, it sends me a strong message that I don't matter much to them. Which gives me a clear indication that I needn't bother issuing them any more invitations.

Honestly, what IS it with people?

Date: 2010-12-15 02:37 am (UTC)I just asked some of my gaming friends recently if they wanted to take over a spot in an ongoing game I'm moderating. When I hadn't heard anything from any of them in several days, I asked again and two of them replied, "Oh, I wasn't interested, so I didn't reply." (The others didn't even reply to the second question.)
Some people just have their heads up their arses. The hell with them.
