  Anyone who has that idea is frankly, stupid. Kickstarter is quite upfront about what they are, what they do, and what your expectations should be. I do not see how failing to cater to people who can't understand basic concepts undermines anything, or how it makes it any less of a nice gesture.

    That is not how investment in business ventures or projects works. It's not a zero-sum game. Sometimes things don't work out and there's no value to return to the investor. It's called risk.

    1. that it's got nothing to do with responsibility 2. that the money should be gone (in trying to get the project done) and if they can refund funders they had no reason to crowdfund to start with and 3. that it's a completely different set of expectations. Again, kickstarter is not a store. And it's not a bank either. If somebody with an idea wants a loan, he checks in with a bank not a crowdfunding site.
