I have talked with Lip many times after this issue. I hope that Lip has understood that on this matter.
I don't understand what you mean, wasn't she supposed to not let you use her characters? So you tried to talk to her to add them back and she refused? One more thing, there is a large percentage of your active community that is very toxic, despite asking questions in a good way everyone starts insulting me, I think you should moderate that instead of supporting it, that tends to scare off new followers, just imagine coming in, asking a question, and being insulted and told to get lost.
