I second the "it might be Vancouver" notion, as I have heard a lot of the same. Similar to breklor, I hit the "might attend" 80-90% of the time: 1. If I'm not absolutely sure 2. If it's beyond my planning horizon (which has been pretty short of late) 3. If I just want to keep the event in mind as a possibility or to be reminded that everyone else I know will be attending that-other-event-I'm-not-going-to.
If I'm absolutely sure I can't/won't attend then I say so right away.
Which leaves a really small percentage of "will attend", for me, because I think this is just good etiquette as well as a good grasp of reality.
I'm not sure if it's lack of respect, or just lack of knowledge of how fb works. If you say "no", the event will still be on your list, so you're quite safe to do so.
