Before text messaging it was "I don't see a problem with having important conversations/arguments over IM/email/letters/telegrams/pigeons/smoke signals." Just because you don't see a problem with it, doesn't mean it isn't impersonal. Sure, you may feel like it is since you're putting your thoughts out there but we humans prefer when we can see and show body language, changes in pitch and intonation, facial expressions and hand gestures. It's what makes conversations personal and a lot more genuine.
