You can always use the report function if you think a member has violated a particular community rule.
We've all had particular posters we'd like to avoid, and my suggestions are borne from that same situation. Just hang in there and do the best you can to avoid that poster.

Hi mg152,
As an addition to the good advice that pburn has already provided, I'd like to add that you can opt to "ignore" another member by clicking on the blue "Ignore" button located at the top of the right-side column on the their profile page (between "Follow Me" and "Message Me"). This will prevent them from sending you private messages on the community. Additionally, if you feel like another member is tracking your online presence, you can go to your community settings, select Preferences and then Privacy, and change "Show online status to" to "Friends only" or "No one."
Otherwise, I'd just like reiterate pburn's advice to avoid replying to any member who appears to be baiting you, and to consider reporting them to the moderation team via the "Report Inappropriate Content" option as needed.
