She hated my boyfriend and got mad at everything I've done. I've actually posted about her twice on here before. I figured the best way to end the friendship was just to ignore her, and maybe she'll get the hint. Well, nearly 2 months have went by and she's still texting me, insulting my boyfriend and i. when i haven't said one word back. Next time she texts me, should i just finally say something? i hate arguing and i don't want to argue with her, but i know it'll escalate into that. what should i say? thanks..

Tell her to please not contact you again in the future. Then leave it at that. Good Luck

 This sounds vaguely familiar. Blocking her seems the most obvious solution. If she can't reach you, she can't annoy you.
Failing that ignoring will work eventually is you're willing to wait it out. Some people take a little longer than others but no one sticks around for the silent treatment forever.

I dont neccessarily think it will escalate into an arguement unless you let it. I would suggest telling her what you told us. Tell her that you are upset with her and you dont care for the way shes treated you or the comments shes made about your boyfriend and you no longer are interested in having a friendship with her. You dont have to let her speak. Once youve said your piece just hang up and shut off your phone. You could also block her number. You dont have to say anything nasty just something simple and to the point so she understands why you dont want her as a friend.

 I would normally advocate the 'just ignore and she will go away'oach but as you've already tried this and she is still texting what about simply blocking her number?
If she finds alternate ways to spew her insults after that, threaten with legal action.
