>I don't really get what Cloudflare did wrong here. Someone tried to transfer your domain name and your registra blocked it because you hadn't authorised it, what exactly was the problem?

Cloudflare refused to engage with the problem, offloading their legal responsibility (for enabling theft and fraud) onto me - the domain registrant

I, for one, am not OK with Cloudflare enabling this kind of fraud

Right this makes total sense as to why you're frustrated with them, I would be to. From what you'd said previously it sounded like you were annoyed they wouldn't take responsibility for something they're not the registra for which seemed a bit unfair on them. If they actually started diverting traffic in some way before the transfer had been rejected then that's pretty bad.
