... flawed logic ...
I see.
(I'm taking that comment with a grain of salt)As I mentioned, I have not been following your alt threads for quite some time, and my comment is based on information that is over a year old (probably older).
Many months ago I also locked some/most/all such alt threads and a couple concerning you I think I also removed the entire OP contents.
When you were creating your "pill addiction" and other similar style threads being a little less experienced a user I took it that some people who started such threads were asking for a free kick (to the head) very quickly I realised this was not the case and stopped participating in those threads (so I too apologise for behaviour then).
Thank you.
Prior to the escrow crap, he was actually a very good scam buster and good member of the forum. I still believe he can contribute to the community in a positive light, but If I was him I would steer clear of any escrow activity.
I have no interest or intention of offering escrow services in the future. IIRC, several months after all this started, I was asked to act as escrow by someone that was what I assume was a scam attempt, and I turned down the offer. I reviewed by
escrow thread and it looks like I acted as escrow in 2017 for a $5 trade. My escrow thread has reflected "closed" since March 2019, and I had not bumped since long before that.
edit: I also generally stay out of forum related drama, except in cases where it is very clear that one side is wrong. I may try to elicit information/facts for clarity/additional insight while staying neutral. My intentions are to continue doing the same
/edit
I would support changing tags to a neutral(or at least most of them), but 1 member needs to keep a neg there so that new users/old users are able to see his history. I only say this due to the fact that many users don't even look at feedback unless they see the red mark.
As I mentioned, I do care about my reputation here. My actions were wrong and they wont happen again.
happened 5 years ago
This is long overdue.
we all make mistakes, including me
admitting they were wrong is an act of enormous courage .. only really strong men admit they were wrong
I must say you surprised me, I didn't expect this
ad maiora
Thank you.
Maybe Vod and Nasty making peace agreement and burying the hatchet?
Vod was someone who I considered a friend in 2014/5. My interactions with him since then makes me believe he will never accept my apology, which makes me sad. My observations of his interactions with OgNasty makes me believe that he has difficulty letting things go. I would prefer to put all this behind me and move on.
This is not the output of the original QS.
Wonder how much he got for this one.
Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting? Who are you really, anyway? You don't have to answer either question, but I'd be more interested in the first one if you care to elaborate on it.
No, my account is not sold (that is what he was implying).
I reviewed some of his recent posts, and he mentioned Rmcdermott927 leaving several times. I would be surprised if Laudanum is Rmcdermott927 though. He reminds me of CH, as he discusses a lot of the same things that CH talked about, but the posting style is at least somewhat different.
Personally, I've never had any problems with QS, and I appreciate his knowledge on technical topics.
Thank you.
There aren't many users with this much negative feedback who stick around.
I do care about this forum and community. When all this started, I had thought some of the negative feedback would have gotten removed over time, as was common for things of this nature. Everyone here knows me as QS and don't really like the idea of being known as something else.
I am a very principled person
I believe this. I've also seen someone claim you don't lie, I like that, even though it means evading answering questions once in a while.
I lied in 2015 about being banned. I do not like to lie, and very rarely do so, including IRL. Not answering a question does not mean that answering a question truthfully would reflect negatively on me. All it means is that the question is not something I want to answer.
