This is garbage advice. Ignoring bullies only causes them to escalate whatever it is they're doing.

Bullies do not stop unless the cost of continuing to bully exceeds what they believe it to be worth. Their target either needs to become so inaccessible that bullying them is not worth the effort (this is what blacklisting, etc. is supposed to accomplish), or their target needs to successfully fight back to the point where bullying results in a negative enough outcome for the bully that they, again, decide it's not worth the effort.
