For years I've known that change.org is a totally unethical organisation. A long email correspondence with them made it clear that they are totally comfortable with the information circulated with a petition, encouraging me to sign it, being untrue. (And
this would not be evident to anyone to whom the petition was presented, since the information in question was not included in the text of the petition).
Sorry, DM = Direct Message. If you go to my main profile page, you can send a message to just me. But, if you’re happy for everyone one to see it, you can just drop it here. Obviously make sure it doesn’t contain any personal identifiable information for you yourself though.
I've signed a couple of Change.org's petitions, but have always wondered if these organizations are more committed to themselves than to the issues. Being on the right side of an issue seems to be a good way to generate income, as you've pointed out, James. I've never chipped in, but thanks for the heads-up!

Actually, forget all that. I’ll message you, you reply!
Okay, try this:

I can’t / won’t see exactly what you’ll see, because it’s my own profile, but you should see an option to message me directly.
Sorry, I was at a birthday dinner before and couldn’t spend too much time replying. Let me see if I can send you a link. That’s probably easier…

How do I send a message to just you? (and just to be clear, which is your "profile page"?)
You can DM me here, I think the option in on my main (truth decay) page.
I'm sorry I have no idea what you mean by DM. Or how I would do that, whatever it is.
Hey Jeremy, if you'd be willing to share that I'd like to see their correspondence. Thanks for mentioning this.
Happy to share it but where do I send it? I've tried a couple of email addresses for you thrown up by substack, with no apparent success

Good subject to tackle!
