my boyfriend and i often revert to conflict resolution via text because we find that we can "speak" our minds more slowly, more carefully, less reactively that way. sometimes when one of us is upset, we purposely go into a separate room and start texting to slow down the convo.

Yes. Like, it's a useful speed bump that let's you be less reactive. "You can't take back the stone after it's thrown," and all that. The full paragraph was worse and now I'm skeptical of this book.pic.twitter.com/lGm1fJ1J6h

Because it allows people to obfuscate the authenticity of their communication within an ambiguous medium. It reduces the level of personal communication from I-Thou to I-It (in the terms of Martin Buber).

To bring this out of the abstract: I pretty much know exactly how much a potential client is serious about committing to a project with me based on how much they refuse to pick up the phone. You can extrapolate that into personal relationships.
