WTF? Is "ghosting" the new normal??

[Kevin1]

In the “newbs” world, they view it as a fresh start.
Jack up one account or handle then just start over….. quite similar to the video games you all have been raising them with.

Flame on…… but think about it

Update: Just this week, I've had 2 more assholes ghost on me, right in the middle of a discussion, that THEY initiated!! And they were asking for something that was clearly outside the parameters of my ad, and yet I was still trying to accommodate them!
Would it kill these turds to send a quick message backing out, so I'm not constantly rechecking my messages, because I'm sitting here trying to NOT leave THEM hanging ????
The stupidity and blatant lack of consideration and civility is infuriating.

Just don't think of it as sold until a day time and place are established.
Easy peasy. **** em until they solidify that

I think you're misunderstanding. I'm not considering anything sold, I'm annoyed at getting jerked around by people rudely disappearing in the middle of normal conversation. I have no problem with people asking questions, but not buying. Kicking tires is fair game,but at least have the common courtesy to let me know something, either way, rather than leaving it up in the air, and just ghosting.

I understand your frustration but itbis their free will. Your expectation vs reality is offset. You expect more outve them than is realistic. If you reverse it, you'll be happily surprised when something you didn't expect happens. Make sense? Glws.

No, it didn't really make sense. You're saying its "unrealistic" of me to expect some semblance of common sense and common courtesy from another adult ? Heck, why even bother with the ODT feedback system, when we can all just assume the worst, and MAYBE get pleasantly surprised?

Lately, people just make meeting up too damn difficult to make the deal happen. I guess that's the new norm here to get around the set time and place.

Just block them and move on
