I think this is a very interesting question, which is essentially a question of dating etiquette. What are the ethics of termination, no, not interested, and I don't want to see you? This question of course permutates here on the internet and in the D/S realm. In the general realm, though, from what I hear the standard tack of rejection/termination/brush off is to disappear. There is no open conflict, no acrimony, no awkwardness for the terminator. The suitor, on the other hand, is left to wonder what happen and to decode the message of no response. Where I am concerned, if I broke up with someone, I would give them word about it. At a minimum I would email, up from that a voicemail, and up from that a face to face. I would not leave calls unreturned until no more calls came (this is a different situation from yours, so I digress.) In your case, IMO, you were very nice and responsive to respond with a no, not interested. I like this because it gives closure and it shows consideration too, that you took the effort to say something.
