I wish we could start a new RT league with just active, communicative owners. Mostly guys on the board.

Anyhow, I like Mike's rule. When the bad offer comes as a step backwards in the nogotiation, forget it, its going nowhere. I haven't have that happen but it'd tick me off. A third round in trade talks should be down to only offers you really think the other guy would like. So, in this case my previous post doesn't apply. He thinks you're an idiot and you should respond accordingly.

I still wouldn't use the board to humilitate him. I'd have to choose between ignoring him and spamming him with about 30 equally unacceptable offers <:

The one time I sent an insulting offer, I got a very nice email back asking if that was it, or whether I had accidently forgotten something. Nicely done. I was able to feebly explain my thought and we moved on with no animosity (nor any deal of course.)
