text mauling

When someone texts you barbs, cryptic remarks or questions so as to relentlessly wear you down to their point of view, or to twist your response to conform to their position or desired outcome; especially if there are many of them, received intermittently, over a period of time: a day or two.

It feels like you are being punched or jabbed, sometimes by surprise-- here they are again: bam!--when you thought it was done, over they're back with another comment.
