When I get posts deleted in self-moderated heads, I receive the following PM:
Quote from: Bitcoin Forum
A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave.
You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

TBZ - have you asked KoS to stop posting in your threads? If not then I would suggest that you take the opportunity to now ask him to stop posting in your self moderated threads.You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

BitcoinDistributor and all alt usernames thereof, STOP POSTING IN MY THREADS/TOPICS.
Though I'm sure that'll be the third rule he'll break and bold-faced-lie about, QS.

Regarding the PM that you sent to him, while I did honestly LOL at what you said, I don't think there is any reason why you shouldn't do business with a scammer (or someone who has defaulted on a loan) as long as they pay you upfront and they are willing to pay an amount that you are willing to accept. I would say that your reputation would be strong enough so that I would trust you with a few hundred dollars when buying something from you, so it would be reasonable to ask for a direct trade, which would limit the risks to you.
It's not a matter of risk. I reserve the right to refuse service to those who are in arrears (or otherwise are in unlawful possession of other peoples' BTC). Were he to pay me, my ethics say that payment would be encumbered to BigBitz, but I'm not
1) going to sell a debtor an item and pay their creditor the encumbered amount, leaving me with nothing (in BigBitz's case, 100% of my bonds sale would be only part of what he's owed)
2) a debt collector (even if it were legal to trick debtors into paying their creditor back by not sending what the debtor thought they were paying for).
