I wouldn't know exactly how to call it. I feel that, if it's in the profile - it's there for advertisement. You can always deny the request after all.

I think it gets rude when the request is repeatedly sent, and is also rude when you get indignant about being denied. It happens -- some people have quite a few on their lists already, so give them a break. Sometimes they just don't know you well enough to add you.
Sometimes, they simply don't like you. Don't take it personal, as pressing the issue only tips the scales from indifference to antipathy.

Just invite them.

Recon, are you posting this because I added you to my friends list? I sent you a PM telling you I did so... I wasn't trying to annoy you at all.

Anyways, IMHO, I think its fine to send a friend invite as long as you know the person from somewhere and you think it would be fine with them. Just sending random invites, though, is just annoying. ><

Oh. Nah I wasn't offended, I was just worried I had offended/bothered you. I'm happy that I did not. ^^

my feeling is that if someone chooses to make there gamertag visible on b.net then they shouldn't mind friend invites from b.net people. i think it is only kosher to send a short message with your invite if you are not sure they know who your are.
