I suggest that this thread has more than run its course and be closed.
I tend to agree. I would think that because QS has admitted to the self-escrow and other threads have been opened to discuss the broader ramifications: (Is self-escrow with a secret alt OK?, etc), that it would be okay to lock it now so that there aren't so many threads fracturing what is practically the same topic. However, I'm going to leave it open for the moment for two reasons:
1) I've been criticized in the past (by Quickseller) for locking threads, he's called it censorship.
2) Quickseller is still posting in it to defend himself (despite his claims that he was going to "take a long break").
Essentially, it doesn't seem right to take away QS' opportunity to respond to criticism if he wishes to continue to respond. If he agrees that the thread is basically done, I'll go ahead and lock it. Quickseller, let me know what you want here.
