The moon is also made of cheese. Am I responsible for that also? I'm sorry if you're adopted, it's really not my fault. Should I give you money for that too?
What an idiotic comment. I'm sorry your mom dropped you when you were a child.
Your comment also made no sense. It's absolutely ridiculous to expect yadayada to fully refund you for a botched synthesis over which he had no control, and the results of which he cannot enforce legally. Where is he supposed to get the money, now that its been spent? I might not find it as ridiculous were folks to ask for a refund on the *profit* he made (assuming he took such in cash and not additional product, in which case he is out a tremendous amount of money (just like you) in addition to the significant amount of time he spent on this.)
I have not been a member of this specific community for a long time. Is this the first time that someone has bought something that turned out to be lower quality than they expected? You folks have lived very fortunate lives if that's the case, especially for folks who buy chemicals, that need to be custom synthesized, from unknown sources, all over the world.
I will repeat that yadayada should do everything in his power to make things right now. If you're rational, you'll stop attacking him and accusing him of theft. You are removing any incentive for him to make a good faith attempt to fix this for you, and you are relying on his honor as an organizer to fix this, at the same time you accuse him of having none. I'd like to think that he's a good enough guy to continue trying to fix it anyways, because that's the right thing to do.
Let me put this another way. I get it. It sucks. You spent money, and you received a product that did not meet your expectations. That's awful. But at what point did it become reasonable to
impugn his motives? I've seen him accused of all kinds of things, insulted, etc, without much specific evidence. What do we
know other than that his supplier screwed up the order?
