I think the ignore list should prevent you from reading any messages posted or pm'd by them. You would not see messages in games from them, but any games you were currently in them with would otherwise continue until either won or resigned by either party.

After that, they would not see your games in the 'waiting' list nor you theirs. If you and they were in the same tournament, your chances of getting paired with them should not change, so if you wish to avoid it, you'd have to avoid the same tournaments. However, even in these games, you'd only have to play, not talk. Might be incentive to hurry up and play those games to get them over with. ;)

/ignore is a useful feature. "You [edited]because..." just adds fuel to small fires. <em>*edit* turns bonfires into signal fires</em>
