I was going thru and adding new connection requests and I started to wonder, has anyone ever turned down a connection request? I've turned down group invites but only because I didn't fit within the group's content. For example I got a request for a Window's Vista group - I bet it's wonderful but I don't have Vista nor do I plan to get it anytime soon so I doubt I'll be a valuable part of the group. As far as I can remember I've never turned down a request - I've deleted people who in time I found to be very different than I expected. For example - really mean.
How about about you ever turned down a request?

Or you can reply by clicking their name but then you have to go back to the request page and click accept. Seems like a lot of work, am I right?

I don't care if someone decides to deny me because I won't know about it. But a few months ago, someone emailed me personally and told me that they had to deny my request because they were not accepting new friends. I thought that was odd. If you're going to deny me, don't tell me about it because even if you do it nicely, it doesn't always come off as nice.
Although I have had people disconnect from me because they didnt agree with something I said...which is fine I have a problem with small closed minded people. Usually they disconnect from me because of my stance on religion which just gives me even more reason to be glad I am not a Christian...too judgemental.
I haven't been here that long either, but I don't think I've ever said no. Lately, I've gone ahead & approved everyone - you can always delete someone later if need be.
Of course if something not right stood out about them, I'd say no.
Ghostly, here is a tip to comment back more easily. When you connect and then go to the My People tab, they are the first one on your list, so then you can just click on them and send them a gmail that way:) Then you don't have to remember exactly who they were, just what you wanted to say back.
I believe those types of articles and comments belong in private mails or some other way of resolving them. There are some articles I find truly offensive but it takes a LOT to offend me so I do NOT refuse too many connections. Even so, there are some people who have groups or interests I don't share and the odds are high we won't be in touch much.
I RARELY turn down a connection, though. My interests are wide. I probably wouldn't join an animal haters group, though. I love animals, people, parenting, reading, exercise, etc.
