I'll probably send a thank you note rather than ghosting them outright, but this has become the plan as of yesterday.
One thing I have learned from Krav Maga, you don't act passive or submissive unless you are about to kick someone in the groin and smash them in the face.
Probably a “no thanks” email is enough in this case.
Well, if there is one bias I've confirmed from Aikido, you don't pick a fight when it's just as simple not to :)

Personally I don't feel great contributing to the trend of ghosting everyone, and sending a thank you note adds a sense of closure and completion.
