Is it rude to not respond to messages?

I mean I guess I could just ignore them but I feel bad about it. Problem is that most people that message me are actually pretty boring or big time pervs... can’t people have cool interesting conversations anymore?

Messages from strangers that I've never interacted with on the boards, pervy, or one word messages, no, it's not rude. To me it's like sitting in a bar or at a bus stop. I'm not obligated to speak with everyone who approaches me.

With people I like and am friendly with, I respond when I have the time and something to say. I can't maintain a daily back and forth with multiple people. I don't have that much time to dedicate to this site. I hop on and off. The people who I speak with understand that it isn't personal and I'll message when I have the time and something to say. If they don't understand, I can't do anything about it. That's out of my control.

FWIW, I come here to have fun, procrastinate, and interact with people on the boards. I'm not looking for anything deep and meaningful. If I happen to build some friendships with a few individuals, that's icing on the cake.
