I personally think it depends. I know it feels really awful when you say something to someone and that person doesn't respond, but I also recognize that the person has the right to choose not to respond. If someone says something rude or annoying to you and you don't care to respond then I ain't mad at cha, yanno what I mean?
I do think that if you're dealing with someone who's constantly ignoring you then it's time to reevaluate the relationship. I'd probably start off asking the person if he or she is hearing impaired, or I like to hope I would. I think it would also be a good idea to try to talk the person privately at a later time and ask the person what was up with the ignoring behavior. However, for a lot of people and even for myself, and for the majority of my life, it's been extremely emotionally painful and awkward to even attempt to confront someone about being ignored in such a manner.
I personally think the worst of it is when someone you think you're friends with acts normal most of the time, but then that person ignores you when certain other people are around or perhaps even around other people in general. This is probably the most stomach churning, rude and awkward type of outright ignoring behavior. I personally think that the worst thing one can do in this case is to overlook the behavior and hope the person changes. If one feels so inclined then perhaps directly confronting the person would be a good course of action, but if it's uncomfortable to do so then perhaps just cutting ties without any explanation may be in order.
I think some of the usual trollish types might find my response to be perhaps hypocritical, but I maintain that it depends. I would say it's a case by case basis type of thang.

Where's the option for "it depends"?
