Thank you, l had no idea, but l also think this illustrates my point ...and the first thread l've posted for years is headed for the politically-correct bin ...typical, grrr
mmm, "joi de vivre" ...a capacity to find joy in a world of suffering ...l've recently taken up rescueing abused & abandoned cats/kittens ...l'm in a new world of cat-poo, ggrrr
mmm, my dad got murdered in Spain 1984, my mum will soon go, my only brother isa arsehole, my only son is gone/immigrated without telling me ...when we 2 boys go too, our memories of a family & a different world stretching back to the settlers & the Boar War, Gallipoli, The Great War & WW2 will disappear into a gigantic cosmic black hole, ggrrr
mmm, l certainly hope you're right ...l really do !!
My group membership &or myself did not stand to make any money ...and although a particular unique item was discussed, other Brands/items were also welcomed/invited to be included in the debate.
This particular group was established on CS one whole year ago ...and l definitely do not believe this arbitrary incident occurring now, an entire year later is a coincidence ...it stinks, ggrrr
If l had been asked to, l would have been happy to remove the Brand/item name from the group name, but obviously it is ridiculous to suggest removing that Brand/item name from other group content ...what's the point of creating groups to debate hobbies, interests & pursuits if you aren't allowed to discuss the subject ??
l thought about ignoring your post, but here goes ...
1/ The groups on this site appear in search engine results on the internet where they have a worldwide readership.
2/ This company asked me which sites / groups their products were discussed.
3/ Auction/Sales/Social Sites rarely or never send emails that could be used against them to their members ...heaven forbid that they might be perceived as corrupt.
4/ Well, l'm sorry to disillusion you, BUT large, very large companies take a great deal of interest in ANYTHING that is brought to their notice ...when it involves money !!
and l am still digesting the unpleasant realisation that a company that l spend an enormous amount of my money, on their products, has chosen to stick their nose into my private life !! ...ggrrr ggrrr
There IS a certain big commercial company that l am dealing with/in negotiation with that is considering their options carefully, because l am also on many other social sites, plus am a prominent flagbearer for their most expensive products in this city ...l really have no idea how they will resolve a certain issue, but l hope that it will have an amicable ending.
I am saddened, but not surprised that any big commercial company that doesn't "like" the content of a group can contact this site & the group is suddenly deleted without notice or notification.
I suppose this thread will also shortly blink out of existence too. then me
l'm a Marmite fiend. ...l will give it a try with cheese on toast tonight.
A fish diet might be responsible for your chronic "backfiring" ...a large dessertspoonful of Epsom Salts in a glass of warm water will clean out your pipes in a flash of thunder&lightning & you will be running on all 6 cylinders again.
As humanities delusional religious fantasy age finally draws to a close in the enlightened west, what will happen to the millions of redundant bibles, prayer & hymn books ??
If all the discarded religious drivel was packed into 60 foot shipping-containers, then sent east to Syria, those poor people could have a much needed chuckle when they take a dump & use it for bum-wipe, instead of rocks & leaves !!
lt's a rolled-up raw herring fillet with the skin left on, preserved in salt-water ...gives your teeth a good work-out & you will poo armour-piercing bullets ...l will try my cat out on them, she already loves tinned sardines
Putin injured himself with laughing too much ...is that possible ??
