First off, I want to say that the most recent "personal attack" on Judy
Cooke, did not come from me.
 
I think it is a shame that anybody would call her humorous post "stupid"
and I do empathize with her on this, that is simply not fair.  Keep in mind
that I have very little sympathy for this person, but that is just not the
kind of behavior ANYONE should practice on this list.  There are many posts
on here that could seem "stupid" to some, but helpful to others, and that
is a necessary part of this digest.  Hopefully, the party who flamed and
degraded me for posting my Boa Constrictor story, has learned from this.
 
As you all know, I am not friends with Judy Cooke.  Although I feel it was
wrong for anyone to bash her for her recent post, I do feel that maybe the
shoe is now on the other foot.  There is a lesson to be learned: "People
in glass houses should not throw stones"  I hope this message will be taken
kindly by Judy, and not as sarcasm or a flame.  We all learn from our
mistakes, and I was greatly hurt by what she did to me, but I survived (in
part, to all the supportive, kind words I received from the nice people on
here).
 
Calling somebody's post "stupid" is childish, arguing about "ferret-related
issues" and voicing opinions on such, IS what this list is about.  Instead
of using the word "stupid", why not voice your opinion in a constructive
manner and let people know where you are coming from.  I know it is hard
for some to simply argue the issues without the personal stuff and
name-calling getting in the way.
 
Think about this, we are in this for the ferrets, not to fight over
personality clashes.  We all love are animals, or we would not be here!
 
Just my two cents~
 
P.S.  I hope that Judy enjoys herself in Vegas, we all need a vacation now
and again.  It is not for us to judge how she decides to enjoy herself, it
is her business.  As long as her ferrets are cared for and loved, that is
all that should matter to anyone on this list.  From what I have heard of
Judy Cooke, nobody could accuse her of not taking good care of her animals
or loving them completely.
