Long story short I liked the domain, the cost was quite a bit higher than I have ever paid for a domain, and could see that you were looking for something more. Since it didn't match my current business interests to the tee it would have taken me quite some time to build it up and recoup on investment costs and the traffic aspect. So, in this one instance, I should have thought it through further before making the offer. I, at least, should have given notice that I had decided against it. Up until now I thought I had, but after reading through the emails I realized that I did not. I did not however make repeated excuses, I was genuine in everything that I said. From the business point of view you must also agree that it is wise on my part to ensure I am making a good investment for my business. After some thought (though it should have been done before the offer) I came the the conclusion that it was not a wise business decision for me. Does that make me shady or unreliable? No. Although I will admit it was a mistake on my end. To me we were going through negotiations and never decided on an exact agreement. In the end no hard feelings on my part, although I am sure it is not mutual. You seem like a good guy, you were genuine and understanding. Yet a failed negotiation should be no reason for you to try and tarnish my reputation and future endeavors. You are 100% right that I should have at least emailed you back and it is very unlike me to not do so but are you really going to hold it against me forever?

I also apologize to Cunning for hijacking the thread with this, although it obviously was not intended to happen. Hogtied.tv does fit my current business interests and my offer does still stand. If you want to take into consideration everything that was said in here that is completely understandable. Although labeling me as someone who does not follow through with their offers is rather inappropriate. You can find plenty of people here that I have done repeated business with that will tell you I don't back out of my deals. Business is just like every other aspect in life, we make mistakes from time to time. Although we want to ensure these are minimal, at times they are unavoidable.
