Personally I have mixed views on charging for delisting. In some instances it would be appropriate and I would not dismiss it out of hand. Certainly for repeat offenders I think it would be highly desirable. I don't recall saying you were a liar anywhere and I'm glad you are not going to loose any sleep. I don't tend to loose sleep over people having hissy fits, throwing their toys out of their prams and suggesting people are 'trolls' because they don't like the opinions of others.
