Answering harassment or trolls is anything but professional. Ignoring harassment is definitely professional.
Whom do you trust to define what is professional versus not, the harassers?

If it was harassment or troll I would definitely ignore it (or maybe just have a bit of fun with them too ;-) OK that wouldn't be professional, but it does relieve stress.
But it's usually people that expect something for nothing, or just do not listen to the responses you give. After a bit of explaining the same thing multiple times, and getting the same answer back without it going any further, is where one starts to get frustrated, and a quick jab can sometimes wake them up.

This what I called "harassment". Please search/replace with a better term, thanks.
