I have a morbid pleasure of watching the corpses while I choose the next target.
BUT your suggestion is open for discussion, if other members also prefer it to be done this way I exclude the crossed out songs

I was thinking about making changes when we were in the Top 200
At this stage, everyone would copy the entire list along the topic and highlight the song they want to remove, as with a smaller list this would be feasible.

OK, so after a very scientific tally, to no surprise at all, my arch-enemy is Henry with 25 points.

The race for 2nd place however moved a lot during the last weekend. And there is now a tie, so we first have a bumbling henchmen duo of Rob and Akhenaten with 15 points each. They both eliminated the same number of song, so if I really needed a tie breaker, Akhenaten eliminated one more song from my top 200 so he'd "win".

4th place goes to the half-hearted henchman BleuPanda. They can't be my real enemy, having Panda in their username gives that away, so I'll rank them as the anti-hero that just couldn't help shoot down the few guiter heavy classic rock tracks I, for once, really like (and, for some reason, Kiss from a Rose).

The first level boss would be andyd1010 with 11 points, driven by his hatred for Velvet Underground and Brian Eno.

To round it up, we have a small army of minions, lead by their boss Romain with 10 points.
This includes Safety Cat (who actually eliminated more songs from my top 1000 than Romain or BleuPanda but stayed away from my top 200), Krurze, panam, Holden (8 points each), DaveC (7 points), Elder (6 points), Rdwdbob and he-who-shall-not-be-named-but-most-likely-would-have-ranked-higher-had-he-not-been-banned (5 points).

Toni, Gillingham, Jackson, heylazaro, OtisRedding and Schuttelbrine all get a pass with less than 5 points.

I didn't really check if someone managed to vote regularly and still get no points but I don't think so.
