That wasn't baiting, that was mocking; with any luck, it will stop futher impassioned e-mails repeating the same thing ad nauseam. If it doesn't work, I'll have to resort to mass deletion of unread e-mails, as I have had to do so many times in the past.
Okay so you're mocking someone and expecting them to say, "Oh, you know .. you're right, I'm a complete moron and I'll change my ways", or "now you've hurt my feelings and I'll go away". How often does that work?
Human nature says we respond when we are attacked. At best such behavior fuels the fire, and at worst it encourages ill will and makes you look like a jerk.
I don't believe that you can solve your email volume problem by sending more emails. Try a threading mail reader.
