Vod on the other hand has mostly left reasonable ratings (though sometimes I feel they are unfair) but he comes out to be a responsible member definitely more deserving than you. He and TC have been considerate while leaving ratings which makes them both deserving of the DT trust list.
You should take a look at a few of the threads created about Vod. He has a history of trolling those who he does not agree with. If you look at his recent post history you can see just how reasonable he can be when someone is trying to discuss a rating with him. You will also see how he responds to factual arguments.
You should infact apologize to the members whom you have acted as an escrow while dealing with them using your alts.
This was done a long time ago - nearly a week. Both of these people told me they did not feel it was a scam, and neither of them said they had any hard feelings.
If he doesn't sue, then what is going to happen to the 20 BTC that TF gave him? Since the BTC was specifically for the use in a lawsuit against you, then if no suit happens and the BTC isn't returned, QS would then be scamming, right?
I was given an address to return any excess/unused funds that are not used as of the new year (this is however off topic). With that being said, I do not wish to commence any kind of legal action against anyone, my wish is that my reputation cease being damaged by lies.
This is not the first time that Vod has gone around trolling someone who he did not agree with, and this is not the first time that he left a rating because he did not agree with what they were saying. In fact, several months ago, I took an account with negative trust from Vod as collateral for a loan, the borrower defaulted, and this is what happened when Vod was asked by the person who purchased the account from me to remove the negative trust:
Could you quote this as well? Didn't sign the message in time before you quoted my quote :/

EDIT: Correct, I sold the above account with negative/red trust
Removed negative trust.
I then received the following PM not a long time later:
Also, I'm legitimately sorry that I was able to remove the negative trust, and if you feel that because of this, that I ripped you off, please don't take it personally. I bought the account without knowing that I could remove the negative trust, and I would have been perfectly happy with the negative trust on there. I just saw the opportunity and grabbed it.
Sorry if I offended you.
I do not accept your apology because one is not necessary.
I was able to "buy" the account via loaning it's prior owner .1
BTC for a week and guess what, they didn't pay back, I made over .01 from it's signature while it was in my possession and .05 from the sale, and this was with virtually no work.
If you feel like you ripped me off then you are free to send any additional amount of bitcoin to the payment address not or in the future.
I didn't personally think that vod would have removed the negative trust, and I did think that he would have neg trusted you if he found out that you bought an account, but I was incorrect on both.
I knew very well what your intentions were (to try to get the neg trust removed), and although I am surprised as to how quickly you were able to achieve this, I do think it was a fair deal.
I hope that you are able to do something useful and productive with your new account.
Just thought you might want to know, Vod's explanation for why he quickly agreed to remove the negative trust was that
It was a personal opinion on him, and you are not him.
Glad that we are on good terms. If I have to purchase any accounts in the future, I'll contact you first
Leaving positive trust for you.
So according to the above PM that I received, Vod had left a negative rating because of a
personal opinion.
