I believe a lot of communication issues (in person or digitally) are derailed by poor communication methods and techniques; some are seemingly ok with it, and the drama and issues it raises but I am not, so I work towards communicating more effectively. People can do what they like I suppose, but when problems arise due to their poor communications methods and skills they'll only have themselves to blame.
Exactly, everyone chooses the method, for example with my friends here... It's face to face communication and at work I prefer it to be like that too, it's more fluid communication and understanding as well.
