Thanks! I have decided they can ping me all they want and I am not getting in any discussion with spammers or any Freepers that cannot check out the facts and all they do is spin. No rule on here that says we have to answer pings! :)
It's good to hear that you've given up talking to yourself.
And while well established FR rules appear to now only be applicable to some, I have yet to see any written and posted rules prohibiting members from choosing what they reply to.
