Removing me from another user's contact list...

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible but I figured I'd ask anyway...

Awhile back, someone requested to add me to their contact list, but I knew
it was SPAM/SPIM so I declined it and set it to block all future messages
from this spammer/spimmer. However, I am able to see that I am in their
contacts list anyway! This can be done by going to Tools->Options->Privacy
and right-clicking the user in the block list (or allow list). If the
'Delete' option is disabled/greyed out, this means I am in their list. If it
isn't disabled, then it means I'm not in their list.

So is there any way to have me removed from this spammer's/spimmer's list,
or someone I can contact about this? Or better yet, have this account closed
or shut down? (Providing that they can verify that it truly is a
spammer/spimmer.) I do realize that they are blocked and I won't get any IMs
from them, but I would just prefer if I wasn't in their list at all. I just
don't want my email to be spread to more spammers/spimmers...or anything else
"bad".

I wish the contacts list behaved like Facebook. If I remove someone from my
friends list, it removes me from theirs...and vice versa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Greetings Cody,

The delete option here won't become available until they remove you from your contact list,
which probably won't happen for obvious reasons.

However, more than likely the account is banned and/or defunct. As such, it will eventually
expire and just disappear from your blocked list.
