Sometimes even that isn't enough. You have to read it twice.
I was having a text exchange with a manager on the road. Hard to come to a consensus that way. So I wanted to talk when he got back to the shop.
I texted "We can talk some more when you get it."
One letter. The issues it caused lasted for years.
Edit: To clarify. If you just cut the chord to someone, negating any chance of a constructive resolvement of the conflict, than that is bullying. It is not the same as to terminate communication, you can do choose to agree on that.
