I've had a bit of a bad history with this user; never had a single trade go through with them.
They even sent me this joke trade:
"So would you like my soul shipped, or in a downloadable file? lol I just had to write!" which to be honest made my day when I got it. lol

But, then they send me this:
"So this says you still need my soul, but is up for trade for wishlist pets?? Or not? Just checking! (Added one just to send trade)"
I didn't mind them asking since my PMs are blocked, and they don't have to read the little blurb under the "I offer on anything in open groups!" rule that tells people that all my open groups are accepting trades. ;P

So, I sent them back this and told them this:

My trade rules say pets in my dream collections are for trade for overpays only. (The "b)" spot under rule one. )

So you'd have to offer a lot more than that. I realize the Joker is in demand; but the Joker is no where near the worth of a UR Cat; it is only worth a little less than a CE Galaxy.... If you're going to use the demand of the Joker to make it worth more then this isn't going to work as the most I would pay for the Joker is a Pink Sorbet...

If that sounds rude at all then I'm sorry, I'm not trying to; I just phrase things the wrong way sometimes.

It doesn't look like you have anything with the UR Cat in your open groups (not sure if you have any locked ones...) so would you be willing to trade the Joker for the Pink Sorbet?

And that sounds perfectly reasonable to me; though I may have sounded a bit grouchy; it was first thing in the morning.
But, they send me this back:
"Thanks, so much, but the Joker was not an offer. I just had to ad something and it was the first thing in my group that I clicked that was on your WL. I was just curious about the UR cat. Thanks."
Since they didn't add anything, I had thought that was the end of it. If the Joker wasn't an offer, then why EDIT the trade??
So I just canceled and told them this:

So basically this is a waste of my time?

...If you're not going to make an actual offer then please don't send me a trade.

Again, that sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
I don't see how assuming that them editing a trade and making NO offer for my UR Cat was a waste of my time was rude, but never the less they sent me this trade and said this:

I was sending the trade, because trades get checked more often than PM's. I usually do this. How did it 'waste your time'? Had you have been polite, we might have worked out something, I do have extra jokers, and was trying to say----- I was not insulting you by just offering that one pet!!! I was not making an offer like that, it would be unfair and rude! That is what I meant. It was just what I clicked so I could ask you the question. I just realized you dont have PMs anyway. Last I found your UR cat, it was NEVER for trade, and then later I found you, it was for Wishlist pets. I was asking if it was actually up for trade, because some people have those pets in unlocked groups to "show them off." I might have wanted to make an offer. I wouldnt be so rude to people who have all your wishlist pets.

1) Since you sent the trade BACK TO ME after I already told you that yes I WAS accepting offers on it; that makes me think you didn't want to make an offer! Thus, I assumed you were wasting my time.
2) I don't CARE if you have all my wishlist pets! That means literally nothing to me if you're NOT going to make an offer!
3) Doesn't this count as sending a trade just to get around my blocked PMs?
4) WHAT one earth makes you think I would want to trade with you after you just called me rude??? If I sounded rude; I wasn't trying to be. And I already told them that... *Headdesk*
5) I'm pretty sure that you sending that trade with that message is being rude; so you're the rude one, not me. >.>
