Debate between a user and The Devil on DebateAI.org
The Devil
Daily Debate #611: "Is ghosting ever acceptable?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: The Devil.
User
Yes because if someone is being annoying or making some uncomfortable it is reasonable for them to ghost
The Devil
That's just avoidance dressed up as reasonableness. You're conflating "I feel uncomfortable" with "I have no obligation to communicate." Why does your discomfort justify denying them basic closure when a sentence takes thirty seconds?
User
some people may not know how to respond or just dont want to respond for reasons
The Devil
"Don't know how to respond" is a skill problem, not a moral permission slip. You're saying incompetence at hard conversations justifies silence. Why should their inability to handle discomfort override someone else's right to know where they stand?
