When the confused person responds, agitated that someone they think is supposed to help them is deflecting their concerns, that's probably emotionally draining.


If that's the issue they could also block them after replying.


At that point, the damage is done. Why is this better than just not replying, again?


Because some people will understand the first reply.


I'd venture to suggest that the overlap between the set of people who will understand the first reply and the set of people who understand that daniel@haxx.se (or whatever it was) is not a tech support address for Toyota, is very small.
