Is it right to publicize who it is?
Additionally,  is thereally a way to get their contact information so I can get my money back?

Can we start a poll? Who's curious what happened?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Pretty selfish to be curious about what happened when a fellow member is suffering.
Don't post it here.
