you are not sensitive; he is offensive. Dropping the rope and walking away, maintaining the high ground, means he gets less and less out of baiting you. Expect the attempts to increase for awhile as he gets frustrated that you're not biting. Don't show him any emotion. Gradually, he will have to find something else to do.
