I Have a Question

When u r texting with someone on here and all of a sudden they stop texting for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then they text u and u start the conversation up again, but then they're gone yet again. Is that acceptable or rude behavior?

If I feel like I'm 'chatting' I take time to use the same manners I'd use face to face. I rarely feel like that here. But were you my acquaintance and I saw this post, I'd afford you the effort to say 'I gotta run' in the future.

You and I grew up without a need to distinguish chat, messaging, and email ... and texting ... and messengers. With regard to what is 'rude' I guess we gotta defer to those who develop & inhabit these new places most often.
