My tete-a-tete with editor St Cair @ Counterpunch .. Archived Message
Posted by Shyaku on February 23, 2019, 5:42 am, in reply to "OffFraud/Edward Curtin, with more doubts about Counterpunch -"
I made a contribution to Counterpunch maybe around 7 years ago or so, then sent a friendly, supportive email to the general info address (something like "info@counterpunch.org" or something similar), asking why they had a minimum fixed donation limit but no upper limit - why not allow any donation anount, they might even get a higher total this way? The response was not automated, not from office staff, not a boilerplate reply, it was from St Clair himself, from his own address at Counterpunch. The response was very short and unequivocal (paraphrasing): "I'll send you a refund". I replied with my address for the refund cheque. He never sent a refund, he kept the money but the message was unmistakeable: Thin-skinned would be an understatement. - Shyaku
