If you are not in the top 8, declining means that you would rather not compete than compete with the inviting alliance. That could be interpreted as an insult. If you are in the top 8, you have EARNED the right to captain your own alliance and execute your own strategy. In that case, declining an invitation is not and should not be taken as an insult.
