There are worse things that can happen.


I would think it would be "right winger teabagging repukelican capitalist pigs" who would say "no one owes you anything."

I think "liberal hippys" would mention something more like "be mindful that saying goodbye or disappearing can be triggering events to emotional trauma, so be open minded and supportive to their communication needs."


Then you must be really po'd when you see the number of views to this thread compared to the number of replies.
Can I call a doctor for you? A waambulance?

Have a good night. I'm leaving the thread now. Okay?
Okay...here I go...I'm gonna go now...okay, this is the last thing I type... right after this...okay, that's it...that's it...good bye, okay?...okay...gbye...gbye...still doing okay? all right...good night...kiss my a$$...g'night...

I always say hello or goodbye or good night.. or good morning.. but I have to be honest sometimes I find it a bit tedious...
I don't always want to text somebody a good morning first thing in the morning..
Sometimes I can go a whole day without saying anything to anybody that would be so nice..lol.. but very socially unacceptable ..hmmmm

I usually try to say something to let people know I am stopping the conversation, from good bye, to bed time for me... or whatever may fit the conversation.
If it is one of those long waits between type conversations, I can always answer in the morning. Lol
Have a great day everyone.

i hate being hung out to dty waiting for a response and realizing there gone no longer on line. can't you just say ttyl pretty easy four letters

yes an egocentric way of communication with no concern for the affect on the other

That seems harsh, Joe.

I think a kind "got to go" or "talk later"...Something...Anything.

I cannot stand the lack or manners on the internet. I expect similar in person, kindness and COMMUNICATION.

Duh.

I always say good night or good bye. I think it's rude to keep someone wondering why the conversation ended so abruptly.

^This. Either I say "ttyl" or "got to go". Though I know that I am not obligated to do such thing.

There is another funny little factor that is involved with this. Maybe it's a result of us all being in the television and radio everywhere generation, I don't know. But it sort of relates to script writing.

What I remembered that triggered this post, is that I have had several conversations online go silent, and I really didn't realize why until by chance, I had a chat with someone who also knew the other person I was chatting with.

I had left off talking to the one, because I read (or thought I read) an "end of conversation" SIGNAL, in the last reply she sent. As I grew up in an environment where people who continued to talk after the "session ended" signal phrase was used, were yelled at or even shut out, I had learned subconsciously, to go quiet and wait, whenever I read or heard such a "signal." My other friend chanced to talk with the first one, who complained that I had suddenly signaled disinterest by not sending a response within a day or so of her sending ME, a "conversation completion" message.

It wouldn't surprise me at all, if it weren't true that lots of people who think they are being "ghosted," have writing companions who ALSO think THEY were the ones who were Ghosted, or at least brushed off. Sometimes it's as simple as that the conversation has consisted of a long series of questions, answers and counter-questions, and when one of the people chanced NOT to include a counter question, the other assumed that the talk was at an end.

Men send me a message ,when I answer their profile is gone!

I honestly don't know the decorum on line. I presume people may be multitasking on several things while typing and so if they don't respond for a while, I move on. I don't really expect a formal 'goodbye', but that's just me.

with manners such as exhibited in the OP is it any wonder one might reap whats been sown?

I’m always polite in messages and on the boards, unless I think someone is ignorant, as is my point.

asserting that anyone that might not share your view is ignorant, liberal, a hippie, or combinations thereof (any of which you clearly find distasteful) is your concept of always being polite?

that's interesting...

you’ve had a few things to say about some of my posts, I’m not quite sure why you appear jealous or envious of me. You do seem to follow me around a lot, men are not my thing

First, I'm going to go on record stating that IGNORANCE is a lack of understanding. We are all ignorant about something.

On the flip-side:(To this op)
I have had a few messages with women that write to say "good morning" but say nothing else the rest of the day then message to say "goodnight". Then, the next day they repeat the process exactly.
No matter what I write, the only response I get is good morning or goodnight.
I had a woman that I gave my phone number. She called me 1x per week, on a Wednesday afternoon said I miss you and hung up. I never met her, I never had a longer conversation with her past the initial 5 minutes where we introduced each other. Yet she continued to call every Wednesday for 2 months.
I figured she must be married or in a relationship and is using my number on her phone as a ploy to create jealousy. I no longer have that number (other factors) but I bet she still calls my old number every week.

The point is, we can't know why others do the things they do unless they tell us. We can ask but it is up to them if they want to answer or give a truthful answer.
We remain ignorant of their intentions unless they teach us.
Any assumption on our part is merely a guess and one guess is as valid as another when we don't know for sure what the truth is.

idunno...
kinda sounds like you're projecting.

but, if not, rest assured that (at least for MY part), i'm am simply making an observation on a thread.

if, perhaps, you have still not taken notice of the purpose...i thought i might just draw your attention to the possibility that making such statements as i made reference to could be thought of by others in a public setting as just shy of cordial.

at any rate...happy holidays to you and yours!

I have a hard time treating online as in person. Its just something about sitting by a device, waiting and wondering when the next response is coming. I just presume upfront that the flow can go at different rates and even end without any formal warnings.

It could be rude, but there are plenty of reasons to stop abruptly with no notice.
Power failure / battery flat;
Data ran out;
Poor services - intermittent useability;
Storms, heavy rain, humidity affects wireless systems;
Got the runs;
Fell asleep;
Passed out;
Got a better offer;
Distracted by calamity;
Pet jumped on keyboard and . . .;
Spilled coffee;
got visitors;
and so on.
