I could not let this diatribe pass without a response.  I usually ignore
most of Bob's posts, because frankly, I don't think they are worth my time
and energy.  But I am so sick and tired of his name calling and temper
tantrum throwing "in the name of ferrets" that this is it.

And I suppose that calling someone names and running down their opinions is
different if it comes from you?  And then trying to pull religion into it?
What would Jesus do?  Jesus wouldn't call people who disagreed with him
neonazis that is certain.
 
You, Mr. Church, have called time and time again for people to boycott
Ferrets magazine.  Please tell my why this is different than people
protesting the content of another magazine?  Maybe because their opinion
differs from yours?
 
I personally am very tired of your intolerance disguised behind moral
outrage and your continued use of religious references to justify your
own opinions.
 
And by placing yourself up as a big time ferret expert (at least I am
assuming anyone who calls himself a ferret god is doing this) then going on
yet another temper tantrum and calling government agencies childish names
you say you help ferrets?  How does alienating those we need to educate
help?

If you cannot help all because of your hatred of a few, then you have no
business saying you are for ferrets and should leave the ferret world
behind.  There is no one person, not even you, who is indispensable to
the ferret world at large.
 
And please, did Mary and Eric announce the end of Modern Ferret?  Or are
you now their spokesman?
