Allow me to clarify. I said that I wasn't going to intervene, not that I wasn't going to reply. It's whacko extremists like Ibby who refuse to have civil communication about anything with others whom they've judged to be impediments to their agendas. Nonintervention means I recognize that Ibby is at a place in her life where she treats people as resources to be strip mined to further her agendas and that for her the end justifies the means. I'm simply not going to be an enabler by communicating with Ibby at a level where she can glean insights into techniques that she obviously hasn't learned yet. It doesn't mean that I can't use her for my own entertainment, to which end my means are automatically justified, thus applying her standards for relationships back on her. I'm just a mirror: If Ibby doesn't like what she sees, she's always had the option of changing her appearance.
