I appreciate your insight. Using his ID I view as similar as using ones ID to label them a bad trader, not that he is necessarily one. By feedback he appears to be a really good trader. Although what I feel he did was bad etiquette as a trader. Using his ID is a way for me to see if anyone else has had similar issues with him or in general and to some extent warn future traders that this trader goes by some form of etiquette that others may not use or agree with and that they should be wary of that, else they could also be offended or offend him like I apparently have done by just declining the trade. Using his ID was not meant for anything more than that although I guess to some degree it could have been because I felt so offended by his comment that I felt like I needed to call him out. I am curious to know why you think its wrong so maybe I can better understand where your coming from and perhaps get a better understanding on how to handle future situations should they arise.
Likewise, it would have been nice if he made some sorta comment himself. He simply could have asked and I gladly would have given him more reasoning and another opportunity to continue the trade if it turned out he did have something I was interested in. Would it have been too hard when he sent the offer to say "If you don't find anything in my org lmk what your interested in and I'll look through my stuff and see if theres anything I haven't entered yet?" Even after the trade he coulda asked for a more clarified reasoning and informed me that he had more cards not entered in his org and that maybe there was something he had not yet entered. My declining of his trade was nothing personal and I'm sure its generally nothing personal with everyone that just declines a trade, why take it so personnally? Who knows, maybe someone just declines a trade cuz there trying to save you a hassle, maybe there just not up to trade at the moment for whatever reason. Why does it necessarily require to give more of an explanation than whats provided. To me its no big deal, if someone just declines my trade I'm sure they had their reasons, if they decide they need the cards they no where to find em. If I had said, "didn't see anything this time," wouldn't have really changed things as their still woulda been the issue that he apparently had more cards not listed which coulda possibly changed things. That reasoning would not have been sufficient as he woulda just said I should have asked him if he had anything else and he still woulda held me in the wrong for not communicating more. lol...
@ JMarchand1981, it wasn't like I was flat out denying him though. I just marked I was "not interested in trading at this time." It was simple and to the point, and I believe to some degree its meant to leave the door open for the potential of a future trade when the timing is more right. It wasn't like I was saying I'd never trade with him and he'd never get my cards. lol... It also wasn't like he couldn't have clarified at any point that he could have potentially had more to offer. I've had maybe a few trades where they've gone off without a hitch and barely any communication if at all was needed. Wish they were all that simple. This offer was in that way but in the opposite manner lol... He didn't say anything till after everything had been done and I did the same. lol... I thought it was just a simple I'm not interested right now but I guess I was wrong. lol...
