Oh and of course I should tell him to stop sending me messages; but I tried that back in August/September but it didn't have any effect then, kept on messaging me anyway so why would I think telling him now would make any difference?

And when I reply saying "It's all the same old stuff over again" I don't really consider that encouraging continuation of messages.
