You couldn't "ghost" the girl in accounting because then all the women in that department would hate you and this would spill over into the office and soon everyone would think badly of you.So, maybe you made a lame excuse as to why you didn't want to go out again. But at least you had the veneer of politeness. We've lost that veneer. People have become ugly because we're all a bunch of strangers online.</blockquote>
