Ignores your message
A non-responder is someone who doesn't respond—to a survey, a treatment, or an attempt at contact.
In medical contexts, a non-responder is a patient who shows no improvement from a particular therapy: The drug worked for most patients, but about 15% were non-responders.
In research, non-responders are people who fail to return questionnaires or answer calls, potentially skewing results.
