Or should I just leave with my virtual head held high?

I have no idea what rule I could have broken. I'm more of a reader and liker of posts. But I did reply to a post with a negative review about a company someone wanted opinions on.

It was a nice group. I'm actually sad. It's still there but its not letting me request to join.

Now you're just angling for compliments!
No. I'm not. That's pollacks

This story sounds a bit fishy to me

Stop trying to bait the OP. If it was fishy we'd have smelt it by now.

Some of these group admins can be really crabby.

The FB moderator is just acting like a big fish in a small pond.

MuthaClucker · 23/05/2020 12:44

There is an ongoing email conversation with the company, it is a genuine complaint that they are resolving for me

Ahh. A ray of hope Smile

@user1494055864, don't be a wet fish, I was joking too.

I hope that it gets sorted out OP.
If in Scotland, write a crabby letter to Nicola Sturgeon

It cod have been a genuine fishcake.

That's right, say it how you mean it - no need to be koi!

Footywife · 23/05/2020 12:47

It's a Facebook group. It's not real life.

Keep your dignity and get on with your life

harper30 · 23/05/2020 12:49

Too many hake-ers in that group OP, you're better off out of it

Good idea - you need a person of importance to flex their mussels.

Warsawa31 · 23/05/2020 12:52

You just need to email and say

Dear sir or manatee

I’ve haddock about all I can hake. This is just a turtle disaster I think by kicking me out of this groupa you are depriving me of a wonderful oppor tuna ty. I’m not gill ty of anything and you should let me back in.

Kind regards

Salmon who loves fish

The only way to winkle out who is being shellfish.

I would just shrug and say 'Oh to the halibut'.

WiddlinDiddlin · 23/05/2020 12:54

Probably they have a rule about not naming companies in the group. Certainly the ones I am a member of have this rule.

I don't have any fishy puns, my braincoral doesn't work that way.

custodiandiscount · 23/05/2020 12:54

I knew there would be some fin good about this thread. Pun-o-rama!

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 23/05/2020 12:55

very funny responses here but to be serious, my guess is that one of the admin or moderators has connections to the company you left a negative review about and they have very spitefully used their power to punish you.

vodkaredbullgirl · 23/05/2020 12:55

At least there is a pot of goldfish, at the end of the rainbow fish.

SisyphusLangClegRocks · 23/05/2020 12:56

That's just sole destroying OP

Pelleas · 23/05/2020 12:56

Really hoping this thread will have a happy ending - all's whelk that ends whelk.

EstuaryBird · 23/05/2020 13:00

You can’t skate around this one OP. They’ve stitched you up like a kipper.

Carrie7469 · 23/05/2020 13:00

Drop them a line and let them know you'd be tankful for a reply

Somanysocks · 23/05/2020 13:00

I wouldn't get in a flap about it.

MoMagic · 23/05/2020 13:01
