I would like to ignore Apple Calendar, but unfortunately, as I 
explained in my original post, Apple Mail, upon receiving a message 
with an ICS attachment, has automatically created an event in Apple 
Calendar without consulting me first (I did not click or double-click 
on that attachment).

There are two problems with this:

 - A user could potentially send me a malicious ICS attachment that 
could create thousands of events in Apple Calendar (and hence Google 
Calendar).
 - I'm unable to delete the event because, when I try, Apple Mail 
threatens to notify the original sender (a friend of mine) that I have 
declined their request.

There's gotta be a way to prevent Apple Mail and Apple Calendar from 
behaving like this.
