TC is a nice guy and A+ escrow
(5btc risked, months ago, buying graphic cards)

What happened?

Nothing has changed. It's just that a situation came up where it appears that I was escrowing for myself (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1171059.msg12363857#msg12363857) using a different account. There's some back story to it, and if you listen to me tell it again, you'd probably go, "Riiiiiiight."

dont forget to tell that you still think that escrowing for yourself is fine!
i still hope you change your mind on that matter though...

even if i dont think you ever did escrow for yourself IMHO its unacceptable for someone on default trust to say that.

Yes, under very situational conditions, escrowing for oneself is ok (though this is really just a deal where the counterparty sends first), and I believe that QS would qualify for those conditions. Granted, the other 99.999% of the time setting up a fake "3rd" party escrow is clearly a scam. What happens is that funds are sent to escrow agent, who also happens to be controlled by the buyer. Once the goods are sent by the seller, the buyer and escrow disappear, never to be heard from again. However, this doesn't appear to be the case with QS.

That being said, I wouldn't expect anybody to understand the reasoning behind my opinion on the matter. I certainly hope nobody would find themselves in a position where they would understand either.
