[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see what's rude.  Direct isn't rude.  She didn't pad it out with a bunch of excuses or a vague offer for "another time," but she didn't say anything mean or unkind, she just said no.  Maybe she's generally a very direct person, or a little socially awkward.  I don't see why you'd take offense.  [/quote]

You must struggle in life with that low EQ. [/quote]

Because I wouldn't be offended?  I'm not saying she couldn't have sugar-coated her answer more, but she also didn't say anything "quite rude."  Especially given that this is a text, where it's very easy to misread tone.   [/quote]

the rudeness comes precisely from not sugarcoating what most people sugarcoat. [/quote]

DP - That's ridiculous.  It isn't rude to respond to a query with an answer.  There was no name calling, no rude words.   I get the feeling that the 'THAT'S RUDE' people think that saying no is, in itself, rude.  'She didn't want to play with me!  She's RUDE.'

That's not rude.  Constantly pestering someone is, though.[/quote]

Oh come on. OP said she sent her two texts welcoming her to the neighborhood. That’s hardly constantly pestering someone. [/quote]
