I think it's rude if you do not respond at all. Everyone has time for "I am in the middle of something I'll get back to you". But I do not think its rude to not want to go back and forth on text.

Do you think it’s rude if people text you but rarely or never have time for a phone conversation with you?

Absolutely. I do not text with people I wouldn't talk to unless its an rsvp(to my daughter's sweet 16) or a business or person asks for a quick text question.

Do you think it’s rude if people want to talk by text but never invite you to do anything while they have groups of friends they often get together with?

I think its rude to keep in contact with any friend and not invite them out for get togethers. I do not think this is limited to text messaging.

Maybe my idea of manners and etiquette are old fashioned. I don’t want to have “conversations” by text and if people don’t want to spend time with me I have started to ignore their texts. I feel rude when I blow off texts though...

I do not think you are old fashioned. Its not like you are not functional with a phone. Its because you want to convey your thoughts like a human, you know, with your actual voice. Especially if something major is going on. I had a random fight with my brother last week. I casually mentioned something and he blind-sided blasted me on text. I told him I wouldnt go back and forth and we should talk in person. So last thursday I went and met him at my mothers.
