I have learned to accept that "you just can't fix stupid".

And second, from my experience in EA chatroom, just ignoring or politely saying "not interested", usually works. I have not been bothered enough yet, to turn sarcasm generator on. May be that was cause I got only "what are you into?" and similar comments.

During my days on our provider's network IRC, I had a script, that automatically closed any incoming private chat, with message like "Queen is busy right now. Your message will be ignored. If you really want to talk, ask for that in public channel".

I don't make assumptions and ignore incoming messages. I try to give everyone a fair chance to strike up a conversation. Is that wrong? Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. That is all I am trying to do.
