erie-
you INTENTIONALLY IGNORE the simple fact that those folks WHO ACTUALLY DONATED were put on notice that they could rescind their donation anytime within 30 days._______Mike came back and ANNOUNCED that he wasn't going to the March (reasons not pertinent to this issue). THAT ANNOUNCEMENT put his donators on notice that they could get their money back if they so desired.
thats ridiculous reasoning. if he raised the money sincerely, in order to attend the march, and then found out he wasnt going, its HIS responsibility (ethically) to refund EVERYONES money that contributed. its not anyone elses responsibility to keep a close eye on what he did or didnt post about refunds after the fact....what about contributors that dont frequent the board every day? unless he refunds every cent of every contribution, he proves himself a complete fraud and a liar who tugged on heartstrings in order to personally profit. he no doubt wanted all his posts deleted as they were evidence of his fraud.....probably covering his own @$$ legally. personally, i think its completely disgusting that anyone would use a sensitive subject like child abuse in order to make a quick buck.....but i suppose theres all kinds out there.
