That should tell you something. I'm not saying you dont reply at all. IMO - You should wait an hour or so depending on the urgency of the requests. Then reply with a "I'll think about it" or "I'll get back to you" etc. That is taking CONTROL of the CONVO TEMPO. It is also setting BOUNDARIES that you are NOT a puppet and will ONLY reply when you feel you have been shown RESPECT.
