Not "respond in kind", that's for sure.

My own recommended list of actions, in order, approximately:

- Ignore.  (This includes responding to the factual contact as factual
   content and ignoring the emotional tone.)
- Call the poster on it.  (Politely - this doesn't mean "retaliation".)
- Write to Jay.
- Mechanically ignore (killfile, procmail to /dev/null, etc).

Of course, this is a baseline, meant to be applied with "common sense",
not as an inflexible algorithm, and is only an approximation anyway.
