Thanks for the replies. Honestly, what I had hoped to get across in this post was that flighty people, people who use ignoring as a preferred method of communication and other behaviors in the lifestyle are pissing me off. It was a rant, after all. We've been doing this for almost six years and aren't shocked by this stuff (seeing that it's all happened to us on multiple occasions), but that doesn't mean it still doesn't bother us. My wife and I are a lot different in that she just says "people are dumb" and that's the end of it for her. I, on the other hand, post shit like this on the internet. We are all different from each other and that is just the way I am.

I also know that sometimes you have to change your approach when things aren't working. We have changed our approach in the past in the lifestyle and will continue to do so in the future. I certainly hope my post didn't convey the message that we are doing the exact same things over and over again since day one and then sitting here whining when things keep going sour. We aren't. We've had good luck and we've had bad luck (albeit a lot more bad luck than good).

But the two bits of advice that I think are worth taking, and that I appreciate being given, are that I need to just chill and enjoy the experiences we have and to stop having such high expectations of others, as well as modifying some of the "angry" language in our profile. You guys are right, after re-reading it myself it does come across kind of pissed off.
