Civilized people remind their friends, coworkers and clients to follow-up on important emails. That's what this is for.

Civilized people have inboxes and outboxes. If an e-mail isn't transferred to the the inbox, the pending-action category, then any attempt to change its status by repeat mails is at the very least disrespectful of the recipient's choice of priorities.

All I am saying is that you need to find out how people think about these things. You're well past explaining, now you're rationalizing.
