Remember to thank your Lawmaker friends as to why we can't do this.

In other parts of life, all of us would gladly do this to benefit a person when it doesn't directly benefit us. But threatened with civil fines and ultimately jail time, most of us choose the sensible 'ghost em' route.



No, not in dating, the term "ghosting" came from dating. Friendships, too, doesn't come with honest actionable feedback, you know if you get invited back you "passed," but if you didn't get invited back there's no feedback mechanism.

People aren't afraid of of "lawsuits" so much (that's a red herring).
