I posted the earlier text to Fountain Pen Network also, but lo and behold, the text was deleted after only a few days and I received a message from one of the mods or admins. I posted my answer as a new thread:

Happy Family
Obviously my post hurt someone's feelings and that someone forwarded his/her bad feelings to someone else and my post was removed. I was told the group in question was set up because the customers wanted it, this is propably true. Then I was told there is no negativity in the group and no demands to be a fanboy. Of course not there is no negativity, it is a happy place and secondly, the sender missed - propably deliberately - the context of my text. The sender continues that any kind of of negativity towards any particular company is not allowed especially if the criticism has no grounds. First of all, this can be read that no one is allowed to critizise any company, ever. My words were about a darn Facebook group, not a company, for crying out lout... And secondly, I think someone's opinion of a group is something that can be published but seemingly it disrupts the happy family -feeling here.
In a healthy world criticism is allowed and it is discussed, but seemingly some parts of the world is not a part of that healthy world. The criticism is stiffled. Even if a company was a sponsor, in a healthy world the criticism would be allowed, but no, you are not to speak bad of companies - let alone of The Company, for heaven's sake. Unfortunately these happy families live in a fragile bubbles. You emphasize democracy and freedom of speech, how do these actions compare to that?
This writing will be removed rather sooner than later and I'll propably be banned for speaking things aloud. My writing has been published also elsewhere, so the information is available for everyone: http://smellybrainfa...ad-or-ugly.html

We can only guess how long the text is public before it also will be deleted... :D
Update: I posted that text to the forum 13.29 and now the time is 17.55 and the text has been removed. It appears that some forums tend to have a nice atmosphere as long as no one critizises a company, or The Company in this case. The criticism is considere bashing and that simply won't do.
In my opinion critisism is a healthy part of evolving but in certain happy families it is considered rude. If the communities cannot take any critisism for their actions atmosphere, there is only one way of evolution and it's not the good one. The same goes with artists, actors, musicians etc.
