Rebranding will cost more than that surely?

Are you seriously assuming that you're the cause of the rebranding ?

So I fail to see where I attempted to "rip the owner of bitcoin-central.net off'. I could have held you over the coals for this name but chose not to.

How would you have "held me over the coals" ?

I'm saying $1000 is a rip-off (as in overpriced, not as in scam) when there's already a website and a brand that exist and that it can reasonably assumed that the use that will be made of it will be phishing. My words might have been a little strong, but I still consider that a form of cyber-squatting, which is perfectly legal, but not very respectable IMO.

I also post under my real name and my address can be found with enough Google fu' so if phishing is going on at that address and you suspect it is me, feel free to contact the relevant authorities and give them my details.

Nobody is implying that you're going to engage in phishing. What is being implied is that the new domain owner probably will, especially if he's willing to shell-out a grand to acquire the domain.
