How and when will I get the refund from what I donated to Furious Seasons?
That fraud.
Do you have any idea how many people are angry with him for taking them for fools? No one wants an explanation. Just give give them their money back.
Luckily with the economy these days an e-mail to the IRS gets a pretty prompt response.

Philip Dawdy is still blogging, not at Furious Seasons but http://sensiblewashington.org/, about a campaign for marijuana decriminalization in Washington State.
He said in his last FS post that “With luck, I may be back to semi-regular posting in the near future, but until my hours back off to, say, 70 hours a week I am simply unable to do much of anything non-campaign related including eating and sleeping. But I will be back. Guaranteed.”

“So, like what’s happened to Furious Seasons?”
Well, he met his quarterly fund raising goal of $4,000 in the first week of January and then disappeared with the money a month later. No explanation, no reply to e-mails, no offer of refunds to people who donated in good faith. Nothing.
It’s fraud and I know a few other people in online groups who are just as upset at being taken advantage like this. These are who people don’t have money to just throw away. It’s so completely hypocritical of him given the rhetoric he used against money and the pharmaceutical industry to get people to donate in the first place.

Ah, I see it’s simply a mis-typed url. It should be:

Hm, seems the wrong link is associated with “BBC Radio 4 has a great series on lie-detection and lie-detectors.”
