That's where the real truth is. If you're communicating in short prompt messages, did you really even have a thought worth communicating?
I sometimes abort writing an email when I can't think of a polite and constructive way to express my opinion. I have never once regretted aborting such email. I'll often come back to it later, with much better thoughts and an actual constructive point to write down, and then I never struggle with the "style" of the message.
