Update!
I managed to get my points back but they didn't come from Cotton. They came from a "friend" of theirs who claimed they didn't know if Cotton had another account and they messaged me out of the blue because they saw my DA journal regarding the matter. I have reason to believe that Cotton does have a second account as all their characters are magically on a new account that is actively communicating with the account that refunded me.
I do believe the only reason I was refunded at all was because of the Journal I had up on DA, and the beware. Neither of which I have any intention of removing (I will update them to say I was refunded by a third party though) because it reflects their doggy nature, and in the end the end the points came from a user I don't recognize claiming the Cotton hates confrontation. So do I, but I didn't have a choice and wasn't about to stay quiet about not getting refunded.
