The Cost of Distinguishing From Your Relationship

You can't control other people and people are going to say shit. The more you distance yourself, the less it's going to affect you. If you have already cut them out and you don't want them back in your life under any circumstances, you've made that decision. You're not the devil for not responding. They didn't listen to you when you said that you didn't want a relationship with them is not your fault. But they're taking a risk, but it's not your responsibility. It's a spec compared to when you're living in it.
