[might I just add that with all due respect unless you name names this is starting to look a tad petty, but I'll continue for the sake of it.]

If it happened over the net I would probably be even more definitive about it. At the end of the day these people dont have to speak to each other and makes little difference to their lives whether or not they do. While there's no need to make it a dead awkward thing for others around by being rude or nasty to the person, I wouldn't bother making the effort to get around the issue because there's not really any need to in my opinion. I would just ignore them furthermore.
