Yes, you have delivered a few snide comments re: my previous posts so do you think your "personal" thoughts matter to me?

Oh, and it's "Your" not "you're"

...it depends on how LONG you knew the person.If it was someone you just met....you could ignore it BUT if it was someone whom you knew for a long time...then you should tell them what they did was not cool and cowardly then move on.

"Casual encounter" 4x over 1 year period, so that is what I meant as "intermittent"

However previous hook up plans were straightforward and followed thru.

This time, he just said "What time" and no reply whatsoever after, which I just responded "Bye Felicia"

I think it's rather a poor personality trait that you get a kick from telling people off.

I've thought of it myself but I see telling somebody off for ghosting me just proves how immature I am. I get my revenge by moving on.

Wanting to get the last word in is also a poor personality trait. It indicates immaturity.

Ghosting IMO is never ok. I don’t understand what is so hard about sending a 2 sentence text. “Hey I don’t think I felt the connection I wanted to, good luck in your search” or whatever. BOOM done. It’s so easy and is the mature way to handle things and both parties can move on with their lives. Don’t text this person back. They are not worth your time or second of your thoughts.

Ghosting sucks. If you want to tell the person off, go ahead. Just know that he/she will probably be thinking "Phew, I really dodged a bullet with this one."

Yes I agree that he may think that, so in this case, in off chance he may message out of nowhere months from now..that the timing of telling him off then, would be better.

Certainly he was not the most memorable encounter, there are other options for sure, it is just the inconsiderate factor that ticks me off

Yes, after he said "What time" and something came up, he could've just messaged "Can't or No"
Takes 2 seconds, if even

Your immaturity is preventing you from understanding human nature.

And, Exhibit A, is why casual sex is a myth. You hooked up and are now ticked that she doesn't respond.
