Daily Debate #611: "Is ghosting ever acceptable?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: The Devil.
User
yes
what if theyre jarring cmon now bro this is completely valid as if you want to stop talking to someone a nice way of doing it would be to never tell them
The Devil
Hold up—you're literally arguing FOR ghosting while saying it's "jarring." That's the contradiction right there. If it's jarring enough to hurt them, it's not "nice." A clean conversation takes five minutes. Silence takes forever and leaves them wondering what they did wrong. How is that kinder?
User
no what if the person is jarring like really annoying
The Devil
So annoying people don't deserve an explanation? That's just cowardice dressed up as avoidance. You're punishing them for being irritating by making them feel invisible. Say "this isn't working" and move on. Takes guts, not ghosting.
User
yeah and then what if they argue you know how much effort that takes
The Devil
Then you set a boundary and leave. "I'm done talking about this." You think ghosting takes less effort? You're just spreading it out—they text, you ignore, they text again. At least a real conversation ends it.
