edit: sorry
And the apology to me for calling me an asshole out of the blue when I was defending you?
I don't think you were defending me then, and you clearly are not defending me now.
I certainly do not think it is unreasonable to want my RL identity not associated with QS. I also certainly do not think it is unreasonable to want to be able to protect my own money. I also don't think that either of the people who I acted as escrow with when I was trading with them via my alt feel they were wronged. One of them had requested that I release escrow to myself after a USPS tracking number was confirmed on USPS.com, and the other came back to me multiple times asking to trade with me again. I think that both parties feel that they got a fair price for the trades, even after paying an escrow fee, and I would find it unlikely that either party is going to ask for a refund even though one will be honored upon request. I don't milk the people who I trade with out of every last penny that I can, I trade at prices I believe that both myself and the person I am trading with feel is fair. I think this last part is the most important thing to consider out of this situation; if everyone involved in a trade feels like they got a fair deal, then no one was really harmed. I really do not think anyone can argue this point.
I do think you have been a great contribution to the forum, and I do apologize for calling you an asshole.
I will make you a deal, I will remove your previous address (I have no control over what anyone besides myself has posted), and you review
this post very carefully, and review all the references/links carefully. Next look at the post directly below the post I linked, it is tspacepilot "responding" to me, however he did not address any of my concerns about his harassing behavior. Please note that he did not respond to any of my concerns. Then look at
this post by Panthers, and note how zero opinion was expressed (also please remember that panthers did receive an unsolicited nivation to post in that thread by tspacepilot). After you do that, please take a day to think about if you think tspacepilot was engaging in any kind of harassment and/or trolling by anyone who did not have a negative rating against him at the time (IIRC, you have said that you are retired, so I would assume you have some spare time). After you take a day (or longer if desired) to consider all of the facts presented, come back and tell me if you really think that tspacepilot was not harassing anyone who did not have a negative rating against him at the time. I think you, if anyone would be able to appreciate this because of the number of times you have been harassed by various scammers (but remember, you are only looking for people tspacepilot harassed who did not have a negative trust rating against him at the time of the harassment). If you think that he was engaging in trolling/harassment of others, then do you think there might be a possibility that his claims of being "bullied" might not be entirely valid?
Once you do this, then review
this thread, with TF on your ignore list. Look at it closely and see if tspacepilot ever admits to receiving money that was not intended for him, and see when exactly (if ever) he tried to repay this money received. At this point, I would ask that you reconsider your opinion regarding tspacepilot not being a scammer. You should be able to even say that tspacepilot was asked for the money back based on his own posts in that thread. I have said this many times before, and I will say it again, I do not like the fact that I am going after someone who scammed someone as TF, however it is not okay for someone to scam a scammer.
You previously said that I was scamming, yet both people who I escrowed for while trading with my alt seemed to be happy with the overall trade, and will probably not ask for a refund of the escrow fee (but if they do, it will be refunded to them promptly). On the other hand, there is someone who had admitted to receiving some amount of money that they should not have, and only
eventually offered to repay a troll amount of money after being repeatedly told that he was wrong. Do you see the disconnect in this case?
I have removed the only instance of where I posted your previous address, although I do still think you were advocating that those with scammer enemies should have their identity/address exposed.
