That's not the issue.  The issue is that you went AWOL when shit hit the fan.  Your "facilitation" fee was not earned nor do I think it is deserved.  Do you disagree?  I make no judgment on your part; things happen.  But I don't feel that you earned your fee.  If you believe you have earned it, feel free to make your case.  I imagine you probably won't find a lot of support here as your absence caused a large amount of distress for many of us.

Edit: I believe are entitled to a refund just like everyone else.  But we paid a "fee" of 1% to you for organizing and facilitating this group buy, which you failed to do.  THAT is what I feel you are not entitled to.
