How Does Medium Tell Me to Get Lost ? A tale of $150 poorly spent

I just got an email Response from someone calling herself Sarah Lofgren. I had written a Lightly sarcastic response to one of her stories; it was mere fluff and My email had her response as : “Your feedback has exceeded the allowable character count.” What a Lovely sentiment. She does not identify herself as a Medium executive or word-counter-guru. I am sure if I cancel my membership it will not be refunded but continue for its full run in time and space here on this “Pay to Write and read site.” Actually I believe I already canceled it several months ago and that just goes to show you : You get what you pay for and $150 ain’t much money. As a dying Marine once told me : “Barton, you either say virtually nothing or you never shut the eff up.” ( Word count exceeded.)
