Mixed signals in a digital age

I'm quickly beginning to hate facebook, twitter and the likes for it's ability to allow people to passive-aggressively communicate with people in the form of status updates and such. The same thing with text messages; I hate having a conversation about anything important if it's not done in person or at very least, over the phone. I think in particular; breaking up, making up, disagreeing or anything of the likes is almost cowardly and somehow insincere (or at very least lazy) when conducted in 140 character or less comments, status updates and text messages that allow people to not look others in the face when they deliver them.
