I think I've asked you this before, but are you SURE we weren't dating the same guy?
I've not often done this in the SO realm but I've ended friendships through letter/email before. I would say it was a combo move. It'd gotten to the point where talking to said persons was like talking to a brick wall. If I'd said "So long" in person, they wouldn't have heard a word or twisted everything around anyway. Writing a letter made sure I wasn't interrupted and no words were minced. That's only if I felt the need to say anything to them at all.
There was also an element of "laziness" to it because shooting a straight message to a brick wall takes a huge amount of effort. If I'm done with them and walking away, then exerting any amount of effort over the minimum would make me the fool b/c I'd know it'd be a waste IMO. A lazy goodbye may be patronizing, insulting and whatever else, but if he acted in a way that said he "deserved more," we probably wouldn't be parting ways.
