If reading/responding to them causes you to miss the mark, it may be wise. No need for anybody to tempt themselves if they are weak in that area. I have never used the ignore button. Figure they have other problems/battles I don't know anything about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindictive: vĭn-dĭk′tĭv adjective Disposed to seek revenge; revengeful. Romans 12:19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
