there is this little key, usually on the right of a standard keyboard. It's labeled, "delete". You can use it, liberally, especially when feeling supercilious. there is a point click and drool alternative for nearly every typical email client or web-based mailer.
If you're feeling ambitious, you can create a filter file and filter out all the posters's from names or email addresses that offend your sensibilities.
