It’s too bad you don’t respond to PMs.

Your message listed a few cards (only one of which was on my list of trade interests) and said “I have these, if you’re interested.” I thought silence would be sufficient to indicate my level of interest, but apparently not since you’re here shitting in my ad.

Going silent on a PM is quite rude. All you have to do is say "thanks for the offer but I'm not interested in what you have for trade" or something like that.

I didn't "go silent," I simply didn't reply to his first and only message. But you're right, I could have replied with something like that.

Jarrod could also have simply thought to himself "gee, he didn't reply. He must not be interested in what I have or maybe he's just an asshole, either way, oh well" and just let it go.

Just like you could have said to yourself "hmm, this Jordan guy looks like a dick, so I don't think I'll do any deals with him" and moved on, but instead you decided to stick your nose where it doesn't belong and do your best Miss Manners impression.

I guess we all could have done things differently.

Just saying, it's polite BST etiquette to reply to a fellow member who reached out to you (whether you make a deal or not). Might not make a deal with Jarrod today, but you could plant the seed for a potential future deal. Jarrod is always picking up great cards!

+1. It takes so very little effort to respond with a few words to a PM.

+2 - Weak stuff, Jordan.

Yes, I get it, I'm an awful person not fit for polite society. I didn't realize the simple act of not responding to a single open ended PM from someone was a cardinal sin.

It occasionally happens that someone doesn't reply to one of my PMs. When that happens, I just assume that the other person wasn't interested in making a deal or maybe had something else going on where he read my message and forgot to reply, and then I move on. I don't take it personally - no harm, no foul.

Now I've learned that the correct thing to do is wait a week, passive-aggressively shit in the other guy's ad, and wait for the ladies from the sewing circle to dogpile the scofflaw.
