Yeah, if it were anyone else, I'd probably do that. That's the way I've handled similar situations. It very difficult to convey here all the elements of a given situation that may make you consider handling it differently. I still have the option of "dropping" it once and for all if it appears he's not sincere about just being friends again. He has made some mistakes that, frankly, we were all a little surprised by, wouldn't have expected from him. Some information has come to light since so I'll give benefit of the doubt for now but not without taking some precautions, let's say.
Yes, you are right. And, this guy knows that's how I feel about texting. That was one of the things I addressed with him at the "end". And, so now, even though he texted instead of calling, I'm looking at that as an ice breaker. If he has changed or wants to change, he will call me to have a real conversation. I'm cautiously receptive.

Texting means you don't have to face the person emotionally to argue. And if its an argument, it makes it worse.
Think about having to argue with someone with no face. You cant feel empathy in words from many people. You can't tell if they are hurting also.
And, it may be limited in characters, so the person may get the first half of a ****ty text before they get the better half 5 minutes later.
Text is good for "I'm here, come over" but a relationship over text? Nah
I usually have a strong preference for remaining friends, but this guy is clearly committed to manipulation. I can't be friends with someone like that. It's too much work, and there's no there there.
