Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a shitty signal because it is just not replying to you and not a specific signal on its own. Could be for a bunch of reasons so you'll have to guess that they're ghosting you. It takes a while and even then you might not be sure.

It is a clear signal, it says very clearly and in no uncertain terms they don't want to talk to you.

Your need for "closure" or whatever doesn't matter.

It could be that you are busy, had some issues, many other reasons. The whole point of a clear signal is that it's easy to understand and with as little room for misunderstanding, which ghosting is obviously not. If you want to ghost someone, by all means, but it's def not a clear or direct signal.

Not to mention, I thought the whole point was that you don't have to be direct and clear about it and hence won't have to face the possible backlash.

Your need for “closure” or whatever doesn’t matter.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I didn't think my "needs" were a subject of the discussion lol
