I do respond to his challenges, I don't however accept him when I am out of potions or when there are 8 people waiting to jump me the moment I kill him. He has died plenty to me in challenges, so much so... I was asked to take it easy on him by a God.
He is just as mad as Kes is these days and I am just going to ignore him.
