I am really just trying to NOT respond when there isn't anything to respond to. I believe that she is trying to draw me into a conversation ... with the bigger goal of drawing me back into the sh!t... I believe that it is about control for her right now. She senses that she has lost control and she is either trying to test me to see if she still has it, or she is trying to regain it. Either way, I don't want to be drawn into a conversation with her. I want to leave her wondering and not feeling comfortable with her position in this stupid tit for tat game.... and let's not lie to ourselves, much of this is a game.

Could I do it your way? Sure. I suppose that I am trying to get a reaction from her... trying to get her to wonder 'why didn't he respond?' OR 'What is he doing that he didn't respond?'

Yes, yes, I admit that what I am doing is trying to get a reaction from my W. No 2x4 needed.

As it stands right now, I'm trying to be consistently polite, but distant.
