Makes sense, Paul. If someone doesn't add anything to your life but upset and negativity, then excising them like a cancer is probably the best bet providing you can be sure of a complete split; if you share a common group of friends for instance, then looking for an amicable resolution might be warranted?
It... worries me when people say this sort of thing. I was going to say something about what if they don't mean to hurt you, but then I noticed you do make a point that you think this - whoever it is - is intentionally trying to hurt you.
Someone more idealist than myself might say "go and talk to them, ask them what exactly their problem is, see if you can't come to some sort of understanding", but how likely that is to get you anywhere, I can't really gauge, not having any context here.
As the anonymous commenter more or less said, if you can completely avoid them then it would indeed be a sensible and perfectly understandable course of action not to have anything more to do with them, but if you happen to share a group of friends, maybe the "talk to them" approach is worth a shot, 'cause things could get a tad awkward otherwise.
I just wonder what makes you so sure that this person is intentionally offending you... I mean, hurtful misunderstandings happen, y'know?
