Jerry- stop replying. Not a dig, sound advice actually that someone before me had mentioned- just pay Stu when you two agreed. Let him post the info and MAYBE reply in a calm tone to only Stu once he has his money and you have the snakes.
I think Stu is right on about sending half back. Shows good faith if anything, a point was made that. The OP n seller do not know each other, track records aside (haha ya right but try to think...) Jerry paid half back and obviously was part of the terms the two came to. Stu is probably more than willingly to absorb paypal fees and extra shipping to have this behind him. Stu's responses (the majority to be fair) have been above us all in, what was the word used?, ah, "grace"?
If some of the combatants that go off topic combated themselves on their own BOI threads would they have an audiance to do battle for?
