Ignoring Emails, etc.

As I often tell people, ordinary people have the luxury of ignoring your emails, phone calls, etc. People who work with the public, simply don't.
It's rude. It's wrong. No matter what your reasons might be.

Depends on who is writing to you. Public servants are just as likely to be spammed or scammed as anyone else.
Ignoring spam is OK, but I prefer to enact medieval curses on the sender. I get great joy from thinking about the parasite breaking out in incurable boils or spending the rest of his life entirely dependent on the rather limited goodwill of his intended victims.
Telephone scammers are the best. I'm happy to give them Mr Putin's London bank details, but only if they swear to come to Jesus whence all good things flow, for that is the promised route to good fortune and everlasting happiness rather than the searing pit of hell that awaits the unsaved and those that do evil. A few minutes well spent.

Classic old boss-secretary dictation cartoon caption: "....next....Smith Brown & Co.....re yours of the 4th inst to hand....go to hell at your earliest convenience....yours etc....."
Now if AI could spot a scam or an insult, it could save a lot of time!
