GET MONEY, most of the time that works for the bashers.  Usually, if you insult someone, they will respond.  However, a response is exactly why they insulted in the first place.  I typically don't put people on ignore myself, because I want to know the board temperamant.  However, I rarely respond to negative posts.  When I do, they are deleted --- so why bother.  Do the posts hurt?  The answer is yes.  These negative posts insult and are meant to cause harm, both to the individual they are directed at and to share prices.  So most times I just roll with the punches, and I pick up cheap shares because of their efforts.
