Instead of this capitulation which rewards their methods, you should exercise a feature of your browser that blocks the sender from sending emails to you. Its clear you have allowed whoever these guys are to push one of your emotional buttons that causes you to percieve a small problem as a big one. Snap out of it! Such characters will in time tend to undermine themselves. Just be patient and proceed with your original intention.
