Google has too many free speech and open source programmers to allow or even contemplate deleting you from Google if you put them in a bad light. By your logic majority of the news and blog sites would no longer exist on THEIR directory. Oh and don't forget Google makes the effort to index your site for free, it is not like you paid them to be on their site anyway. I suggest you do your research and contact Google before making yourself look like a crackpot. No offence but this reads like a conspiracy article.
