Universal Ignore?

Yes, this is a World of Warcraft rant and it might be all over the map.  Just thought I'd warn you in advance.

I apparently have lost ALL ability to be patient.  I'm tired of feeling like I have to be nice to complete strangers.  Why can't people just do what I do?  I don't whisper complete strangers, I either ask my guild mates or I go look it up on this new-fangled thing call the internet (which one has to be on to play WoW).  I tend to be very short (not nasty) with people if I give them a response at all, and I usually put them on ignore (which means they can't send me private tells in the game on that toon).  Tonight was just a bad night, and I now have a new person I do not know to loathe.  The guild is Iron Guard, the characters are Raytom aka Darianstorm aka Renaimed.  I am assuming they are all the same person, but it is possible guild mates are "helping" him/her (I'm going to go with her because the last comment-which I'll type out down below-sounded like something a young girl would say.  I would know, I was one once.)

So I am playing my level 73 Alliance druid, (Mellara-but don't whisper me, I'm a jerk).  I'm frustrated with things Horde side and I am Alliance side looking for some piece and quiet and to just quietly level my character.  Here is the conversation (word for word):
          Raytom:  How do you get to be a bird in this area?
          Mellara:  I'm magic.

Then I put the person on ignore and got up to make toast.  When I came back I had this message:
          Darianstorm:  Why don't you try being helpful instead of being a total jerk!  I hope karma bites you hard in the ass!
          Mellara:  Whatever
My message did not go through because Darianstorm put me on ignore.
That irrated me.  I took Raytom off ignore and whispered:
          Mellara:  Instead of being a jerk back why don't you try looking up flying on wowhead or thottbot?  I'm not your personal thotbott and I'm tired of feeling obligaed to be helpful to everyone.  Screw karma I want to play and be left alone.

I put them back on ignore.  Then I get this message:
          Renaimed:  It's not like I was following you around asking you a bunch of questions!  I didn't know you could fly in that area.  YOU ARE A JERK and are the worst thing about WOW.  Karma WILL bite you in the ass.  You obviously are over compensating for a lack in size!!!!

Then they logged out.  I took Raytom off ignore again and tried to send this message:
          Mellara:  Well, that's mature, considering I'm a girl.  You didn't have to be a jerk and whisper me from three different toons total.  You could have just left me alone.

But they had put me on ignore.  I was soo tempted to log on another toon to whisper them but I didn't want to stoop to their level of douchebagery.  I could have just said from the start "go look it up on thottbott" instead of saying I'm magic.  But they really could have let it go.  I wish I could just put everyone (except a few people) on ignore and just enjoy the game.  All these other people are really starting to ruin it for me.

*sigh*  Enough douchebagery for one night.  I'm off to bed.
