I come to this site to decrease my anxiety. Someone who asks me to read their profile and sends me a friend request that shows that they have manifestly not skimmed let alone read mine- I am not going to agonize over how best to explain to them why I am denying their request, or try to get past the manifold barriers they have put up in their profile (very few methods of contact available, few of them appropriate) to ask them to provide more information or enter into a conversation -- so that I can ease my mind that we'd get along as CTFriends, that I wouldn't mind their having access to my protected blogs.
(Some people actively want people to join their lists and are fairly exhibitionist, blog- and photo-wise, though their attitude to making lasting friends may be more ambiguous; I do lose track of people, which I need to work on, but I am not a the-more-the-merrier person, I think, when it comes to adding people to my trust-lists.)
No. Deny it is, with people who can't be bothered.
