I get bugged all the time on MSN, and AIM, so I always make sure to add any person to IM's me to my buddy list - then block everyone on there. Then, if I want to get ahold of someone, I just unblock that person. It doesn't stop the people I don't know from IM'ing me, but there isn't much I can do about that.
I don't mind people IM'ing me, it's just that three simultaneous chats and my connection dies. And most of the people who contact me are strangers who use my email address (fanfiction) so I have to feel bad for not recognizing their user names from reviews. People from here tend to have names I know from my brief foray into the chat room, so that's different.
For the curious, my MSN and AIM accounts are the same - Arigatomina, Arigatoumina, Arigatomyna, Kenshin9365, and Devon_Wing (used mostly for undercover work in certain chatrooms).
I use MSN because I installed the newer version of AIM and it won't let me transfer files with people any more - I have to resort to MSN for it to work. That's about the only reason I use it, and I only use AIM if I'm looking for someone or want to share my boredom in a chatroom.
