death by e-mail

What ever happened to the common courtesy of telling people things to their face? Why do we hide behind informal written words? Hand written items are another thing...they have character...they mean something...they take time and effort...but who are we to put important "make or break" information in type and send it electronically to crush another beneath the weighty blow of an e-mail or text message or IM or whatever?

I know sometimes situations are hard to face...but we need to rise up and be adults folks...if you have an issue with someone...please talk to them to their face about it...so much less grief in the long run...I'm so sick of being the brunt of this anti-social fad.
