Nice done Mr.Chainsaw. I could be wrong but I think if Grey were to offer refunds to anyone who wanted or needed a refund, a lot of people might not even ask for one. The people who bought tickets wanted this show to happen. In my opinion a lot of people asking publicly about refunds are just trying to reassure themselves this wasn't a sham. Offering a full refund is putting the fans first and would go a long way in reassuring them. He keeps saying he is doing this for the fans, but them he seems to think the con is more important than the fans he is doing the con for.

Just my opinion

You know its funny, but my wife believes the same thing and Im inclined to agree. I think just the gesture of offering would be enough reassurance that fans would stand buy the show with little protest. Its when fans suspect foul play at hand that they become wary.

Thank you for commenting. I really do want to start getting a bit more regular with my blogs/essays and the fact that I know people are reading and enjoying the work is a motivating factor to keep putting it out.

I honestly think a lot of the people bringin up refunds don;t really want them. Their bullshit detectors are just trying to sniff out a scam. Likewise if someone had honestly confronted the rumors early on, this whole thing could have ended better. I had severla friends planning on going, and I was toying with the idea, but the rumors scared them off. If Beal was to blam, then out him earlier. In the interview it looks like he is backing away from sueing Beal, really convenient if you don't have any proof that Beal did anything.
