When I did online dating, I just didn’t respond to anyone who I wasn’t interested in. Even if they messaged me through the site multiple times, I just deleted the messages unread. They eventually took the hint and saved me time & energy.

You know, I tend to agree with this. It sends a strong and clear message when you don't reply at all. And who cares really if you don't, especially when there's no interest. I too, found that men would try to argue me out of my "not interested" stance, no matter what, and many times over with different men. It became super annoying, and like you said, it was a drain on my time to continue replying. I agree that it gives them an inch, when you don't want to at all.
