Laurel,
 
Are we now to believe that YOU believe that Alexandra's biting post WAS
A JOKE??
 
Sorry...I don't buy it.  She admittedly bit the ferret on 5 different
occasions.  There is no excuse, and there is no 'taking it back'
 
Long and short of it is this:
That is intolerable behavior, especially when it comes from a person
who holds herself in such high regard within the ferret community [I
am referring to Alexandra].
 
I hope she realizes she handled the situation badly and will modify her
own behavior and stop biting her ferrets.
 
Enough said.
