We are stung -- not because we want to join the “cool kids” on their outings, but because we feel it was rude that no one clued us in that we had selected a bad date for so many.
GENTLE READER: How you feel about the situation is not for etiquette to judge, but Miss Manners sees why your neighbors would be squeamish telling you about a party to which you were not, well, a party.
The normal ban on such discussions does not, technically, apply: Any one of them was free to say they were sorry to miss your event but they, and a number of neighborhood friends, would be away that weekend. But that does not put them under an obligation to do so. The guilty parties are the ones who never responded at all.
