Dear Bob,

Thank you for the invitation. Given the fact that your organization’s starting point is “no compromise,” the concept of participating in a back-and-forth is something that, to me, doesn’t seem worth the time or effort.

I hope your event goes well, though, and I look forward to seeing you next time our paths cross.

Take care,
Ann
