Is ghosting ever acceptable?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is ghosting ever acceptable?". Your opponent's style: The Devil

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Ghosting is never acceptable. It's emotional cowardice dressed up as convenience. You abandon someone without explanation, leaving them trapped in uncertainty, replaying conversations obsessively, questioning their worth. That's not mercy, it's cruelty. A five-minute conversation costs you almost nothing. What you're really saying when you ghost is, "Your feelings don't matter enough for me to be honest." You're outsourcing emotional labor onto someone else, forcing them to absorb your discomfort instead of managing it yourself. The only argument worth making is that sometimes honesty is hard. So what? Difficult doesn't mean acceptable. It means you do it anyway because respect demands it. Now, where do you stand?
