I am so thrilled to hear your good health news! Puts WAS petty bullsh@t in perspective, eh!!
I don't know about ignoring him. I would say that go with whatever gives your heart the most peace. If ignoring him makes you feel better and means you won't have any poison exchanges, than that's what you should do. But if you'd like to attempt a positive connection, then I say do that. Just don't let either get you down!
