He doesn't even know you so why lose sleep over it??
Not losing sleep over it or letting it "get to me". That's not the point. The point is in general, you get called stuck up over not responding. Hell, even if you respond, saying you aren't interested, you STILL get called stuck up or even worse. You can't win either way. I just never understood why.

All the more reason to ignore it. You are trying to make sense of the inherently illogical.
Somewhere right now, one some corner of the web, Mother Theresa has haters. You could post an article of Nobel Peace Prize winners saving puppies and kittens from burning buildings and someone will find a way to criticize it in the comments. Why do you think people are any different on OLD sites?

It's a very common phenomenon called "sour grapes."
For those who have used or are currently using online dating sites, if someone sends you a message and you have no interest in them, based on the information you see, things of that nature, do you still fake it and respond or you don't? For those who don't respond, have you ever got a follow up message "You're stuck up aren't you"? If so, how did you deal with that? Is not responding to a message to someone you obviously have no interest being stuck up? If it is, how come?
It means you dodged a bullet. The guy who sent you that message is one of the guys who yells at women and gets hostile when they approach women IRL to ask for their number, and women turn them down. You're supposed to ignore messages like that. The guy was hoping to hook you into the drama of it, and affect your self-esteem, and it sounds like it worked.
There were times I responded to messages even if I didn't sense compatibility. In these cases the men usually tried and put in the effort. Other times I didn't respond.
No doubt there were a few occasions where some were bothered or upset at a lack of response or continuing correspondence. I usually laughed, ignored it or they received a pretty salty or snarky response. It's extremely difficult and rare for others to ruffle my feathers. I didn't take these conniptions to heart. Ignore, block and move forward.

With the caveat that it's not always that easy to tell if you'll have interests based on so little information....
Do not respond if you have no interest. From my perspective (as a guy), responses from women saying 'Thanks for the message, but I don't think we'd be a good match.' were much worse than no response at all.
No, you're not being stuck up. He's just displaying sour grapes. Block him and do not respond.

You are caring way too much about people with bad manners.
When I first used online dating, I responded to every single person. The trouble is, the messages come in faster than you can respond. Eventually, I began only responding if I was interested to see where it could go. Rude? Yes. But it was either that or close my account. Men know that women get bombarded so even they say they know we can't respond to all messages.
If someone writes back a nasty note, it's not your problem. He's showing his true colors and that you made the right decision to pass on him. No response needed. Next.
Well I was on internet and I found my partner over the internet. We are happy together almost 5 years now. Well yes I have received messages from men that I am not interested in. I was being honest and said that what I felt and what I think. After that I did not get any bothering letters. Always be straight forward and tell the truth and yes as some other member says you need to have a thick skin Good luck bunney
Stuck-up, heh heh, I don't think I've heard that one since middle school!
I personally wouldn't give this a second thought...would just move along.
