The 5th route seems inadvisable to me because - whether the sender means it that way or not - they create the impression of dickdom. It always amuses me that the people who do this - which seems so egotistical to me - frame everything in the same light. They think they're fighting and will frame every response as a victory. Ignore them & they tweet about how you're ignoring them because you know they're right. Reply and they claim that as validation. Block them and they crow about having got to you. It's all nonsense. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, just explaining that if/when you do, the recipient will think you look like a dick.<br /><br />There have been a couple of people arguing the toss with me on Twitter about it.
