This I'll agree with
If you don't want to email or text anymore, at least have the basic common fucking courtesy to say "sorry, I'm getting busy. See you later" or something.

Just not replying is incredibly rude.

i do this all the time
i have no choice, i've been bollocked for using my phone during office hours. if my boss sees me on it, i get into trouble. i can risk 1 or 2 texts, that's it. then at night i'm always out with friends or clients; there's only so much you can text when you are out before it just gets rude!

Sometimes you just can't reply.
Wait for someone to explain later before freaking out.

or don't text them until they text you
if they're keen, they'll text eventually.

I don't ever not text deliberately
but sometimes you're busy, or you forget because someone came and spoke to you as you were about to reply or whatever.

I don't freak out.
I just adopt an "oh, well fuck you too, then" attitude. If they apologise later, all's forgiven. Otherwise I can't really be arsed with them.
