It's impolite not to respond to someone's text? How about it's impolite to wake me up in the middle of the damn night with your self-involved lunacy?
But, yes, a friend of mine is a middle-school teacher and he reports that it's considered a major dis if one kid texts a simple "hey" and the recipient doesn't respond in kind. Feuds start this way.
I think what the writer meant, however, was "you must go south to get to either (from the other one.)"
