I think you are missing the point. It is by ignoring them that you are avoiding letting them control your emotions, as you are not getting exposed to the rubbish they frequently spout. Unless you are some kind of saint, or a doormat, the insensitive things some people say are bound to affect you, so it's better to just click that ignore button.
