I was answering your question specifically how I would feel about the situation. I also understand that others feel differently.

Maybe granting loans is different than trading physical items, which is what I was doing, and there would be less of a legitimate reason to hold collateral for a loan with a hidden alt. The transactions I acted as escrow for myself were transactions in which I had to disclose my IRL identity, or risk being forced to refund my buyer if something went wrong. One of the transactions involved me shipping something internationally, and I had to disclose my IRL identity on the customs form which is attached to the package. The other transaction involved me selling someone bitcoin via Western Union (it might have been a similar service), and if I didn't put my real name on the sending form (the information of which is available to the seller I believe), I would be unable to get a refund from Western Union if for some reason the buyer could not pick up the money.

Self escrow for physical items doesn't seem any different to me, and certainly just as deceptive. The other party was expecting a neutral, third party to be involved incase there was a dispute that need mediation. You deceived them into a false sense of security.

Both parties in question actually said at the time that they would have sent first to me if they had known they were dealing with QS.

As I said above, the reason I did this was because I wanted to protect my IRL identity.

That excuse may have worked at first, but the continuation of all your sockpuppeting seems to suggest there's more to the story.

The below definition of a "sockpuppet" from urban dictionary is very close to how I would describe "sockpuppeting:

Quote from: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sockpuppet

A false identity adopted by trolls and other malcontents to support their own postings.

I have not used any alt account to support my own point of view, or my side in a dispute after the self escrow incident.

I don't care what kind of deal Lauda had with Quickseller to pretend they're not the same person.

There was no deal with Lauda. I simply wanted to stop the fighting and bickering with Lauda (and other forum members), and wanted to move on. My presumption is that Lauda felt the same way.
