I've had the same thing happen a number of times - as my writing style is, well, unconventional.

And like most people here, I've had my share of adversarial replies - including some which, as you noted, might seize on small syntax or factual mistakes in bad faith (as in life itself, really).

But I've never put anyone on ignore, and probably never will - because I've found that even those with whom I've had vehement disagreements, might, later on, have something really interesting and/or informative to say.

So take it from me: ignore the ignore button. You never know where good insights will come from next.
