When do you stop (if ever) to stay silent?

I have 2 different situations.
The first is that I recently broke up with my bf of almost 2 years. He left me a card that I had given him about 6 months. In the card, I said I'm looking forward to keeping warm with him during the winter and will look forward to Spring. He wrote on the other side of the card that I was "insincere throughout our relationship which is most memorable. The cold days were a reflection of the way I saw us together. Glad Spring is here. Wishing you love and happiness." He also texted me that he still loves me and if I can open my heart, he will be there and if I want to spend holidays etc together, he'd be interested as well.
Do I reply to this at all? I want to tell him the real reason I broke up was because his controlling ways were suffocating me and despite my efforts to ask him to change, he didn't. Also, that I endured his bad behavior for a long time and treated him very well (which I definitely did).

Second:

i went on a dating site and my prior ex bf texts me that "You'll be happy to hear that you are one of 10 top picks from my town and what more could a girl want? Looking good! Call me...let's catch up. NO harm... it will be fun."
He is supposed to be dating someone so why is he on a dating site (or his good friend is on the site so maybe he told him and he looked it up)?
Do I reply at all??? I was with him for 7 years and it took a long time to break it off with him. He texts me every now and then and I never reply.

No, don't reply to either of these clowns. 

The first one is a jerk. 

The second one sounds like an arrogant doosh who has zero game. 

I'd be utterly turned off by both so there wouldn't be a shadow of doubt in my mind about ignoring them. I would reflect on why you're even contemplating doing so.

Do not reply to any of them and blocking them will do you some good.

Even if you explain to your recent ex why you left he will only fight you on this, he's a typical passive aggressive person just by the way he returned you the card it says it all.

Previous ex acts like a player, you have nothing to gain there.

There is no reason to reply to either.  The first is just another way to control you.  The 2nd you already know he didn't work & how he's proving himself to be open to being a cheater.  No thanks.  

Silence is golden.  Pretend neither of these men exist & enjoy your life.
