Dear Miss Manners: I am sick and tired of receiving no response to my text messages! I have recently learned this is called "ghosting," which leaves one in limbo, never knowing why the other party does not respond.
Perhaps nowadays people feel entitled to a sense of digital anonymity. They don't bother to respond because they feel they don't have to. But I feel we should give others a response to messages we receive via email or text, even if it is just to say "I no longer wish to participate in this discussion."
Could you please give me a link that I can send to these ill-mannered people that politely tells them what I think of their inconsideration?

What makes you think that people who will not even respond to a text a few words long will click on, and read, a whole link?

Texting can produce a false sense of urgency and intimacy. While it is rude to not answer at all, expecting others to do so immediately, or on your time frame, is equally unreasonable.

Miss Manners recommends that if the matter in question in these texts requires a response, you find an alternate means of communication. If that produces similar results — within a reasonable time frame — unfortunately, you may consider that these people are no longer your friends.
