Agreed. QS has learned his lession, and i believe the good he has done catching scammers and alike outweighs the incident with the escrow.
And BS with the court on the other side needs to stop aswell, you're looking like a bunch of kids tossing blames, aint that funny anymore.

I think you're only kinda right on this, ajareselde. One thing this incident has highlighted for a lot of people is the extreme volitility and duplicity of QS. He's okay with deception, as long as it's the kind of deception he can rationalize. He's okay with using sockpuppets and half-reasoned intutions to ruin other people's reputation, but when he feels like someone is falsely accusing him, he flies completely off the handle. If all QS had been doing was some small-potatoes escrow scamming for the fee, then sure, we've certainly seen bigger crimes. But this is a guy who was "highly respected". Even now, you say that he did a lot of good "catching scammers". I know that once I was falsely accused, I saw that QS' ratings tended to fall into two categories:

1) cheap, easy neg-reps on complete newbie accounts who didn't seem to have taken the time to read the rules
2) he butts into a disputed trade and decides precipitously for one party or the other, considers his judgment infallible, calls troll/scammer on anyone who protests, and then moves on

In my opinion, someone with such a volitile personality is a dangerous person to put into a position of power, and now that this incident has highlighted his MO for the wider community, I think it'd be a good idea for someone with a more impartial approach to look again at some of the more controversial QS ratings. Note, crucially, he has yet to accept the value of an impartial opinion. For him, there is only right or wrong, and he considers himself very good at finding the right. He can't seem to imagine that there are very often in life two or more "rights" and that it takes a very careful, self-aware person to weigh these kinds of things.

It's not clear at all to me that he has "learned his lesson", as you said.

I see your point, but without being on DT anymore, there's little he can do if the member he "attacks" is innocent.
