Wow why do people hate on you for no reason?

I used to think that ignoring people worked, but it does not. They think of it as a weakness, and they want to see how far they can go with you. You did the right thing by getting off in his @ss. Sometimes you have to step up to the plate and swing. He will back of from now cause he is a puss and will be afraid to mess with you again. I do not like negative people either, but its all good, they get destroyed from their own bad energy.
