Wow, I could not think of a more hurtful and uncalled for thing to say
than the opening statement in the post below.
 
Gordon, I'm so sorry you've been subject to this attack, especially in a
time of loss of your beloved little Kodo.  I don't question your decision
to give Kodo every opportunity, to be absolutely sure before taking this
irreversible step.
 
You clearly have much respect and support within the ferret community,
so my prayers will be for your attacker, that she will find compassion,
kindness and happiness.
