Get Gifted a Dreamie/List pet [ ]

I saw that in someones rules, when I was just about to gift them a list pet.

[Crassula]

I was sent this trade with this message:

Either something other

I didn't know what they meant, so I sent the trade back as a suggestion with "What exactly are you wanting me to do?"

They send the trade back, with some edits into it and a new message:

Ok???

No.

[peter parker.]

People think it's rude when I respond with simply 'No.'

Go ahead. Think I'm rude.
You're honestly the one who offered the most horrid trade and ignored my trade rules.
I'm rude?

[Loui.]

People complain about how rude it is to cancel without a message.. Sometimes it's even better to cancel without a message than get a rude respond..
But how about to accept a trade with a message ? I get so many trades accepted without a message .. I mean I always write a kind little message, why cant you? v.v I love it to talk to people and get messages, even if it's just a trade-message, take some time to make someone else a little happy. ♥

The trade they sent me: http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... zOMCipQUwA

Their trade rules:

Trading is fun! But... There are rules!
~Trades~
1) Please, serious trades only. This means no "Very Common" pets for "uncommon" pets, etc.
2) Date and age matters. No 2013 pets for 2011 pets.
3) Pet types matter! I will usually only trade cats for cats, dogs for dogs, etc, unless it is for a wishlist pet of mine.
4) I'm NOT trading my "Very Rares".

When I edited it to be perfectly fair (my current month rooster for theirs), they cancelled.

Just because I miss a current month outcome and put it on my wishlist doesn't mean I want to trade a 2009 rare for it, I can easily find 1000 other players with that pet for trade, I've just not got around to it yet...


Edit
Oh my gosh you guys, CS users are so wonderful!
So many of you sent me a free chicken so I wouldn't have to go through this again ;u;

I now have a total of 7 chickens. SEVEN! I have decided to put the 6 spares into a group and hunt for 6 other users that are missing this chicken, so they too no longer have to deal with terrible trades when they are just trying to get a missed monthly pet. Thank you so much! <3

Someone sent me a gift with a list pet as a gift and canceled. :c

[~Mia~]

Some people will never understand item rarities..

[ziggy.stardust]

Pretty bummed, I spent all day waiting on a trade and getting my hopes up.
Then they took the pet I was offering off their wishlist and my mood was crushed .-.
I'm never going to find a fair trade down for my grinner..

Broke both my rules: Fairness and No suggestions.
Literally, I have TWO. RULES. If you are old enough not to be Coppa'd, you are old enough to read, understand, and follow them.

Also, I finally found someone who:
1. Has a cake dog
2. Cake dog is in a TRADE group (!!)
3. Has the Floppy Pink Sept. as well as some of my '09 rare fodder on their wishlist.
4. Says in their rules that they're looking for trade downs.

If that wasn't a match made in heaven, I don't know what is. Now to wait on pins and needles to see if they respond.... I hate suspense, especially when it's a super important trade. I've been trying to trade this darned thing, up or down, for weeks.

not a decent trade since.. hmm, let's see, the end of august
how nice
