I agree with the several posts that suggest we all cease to respond to
any & all posts by Edward Aren't-I-Cuteinsky.. err.. Lipinsky. Roary
put it best when he posted "You remind me of a ten year old boy who's
trying to impress the girl next door by showing her how to burn bugs
with a magnifying glass." However, I am not so sure that he "...just
can't understand why she keeps running away screaming."

Since he is not a 10 year old boy (we assume), he must be aware that
posting things like "Ferrets will kill just for the love of it." on a
news group comprised of animal-lovers is going to be inflammatory. At
various times he has professed to have first-hand knowledge & skills
in a wide variety of professions, including animal husbandry,
pharmacology, microbiology, pathology, & most recently - entomology.
Hmm - call me a "doubting Thomas". In any event, perhaps we are all
just part of his current experiments in group psychology? If so, let us
comport ourselves well. We should NOT stop reading the FML; we should
just stop responding to ANYTHING posted by Mr. L. Really, if he truly
possesses the emotional immaturity of a 10 year old, he needs a good
long "time-out". (While I'm sure a few of you would prefer to stake him
in his yard without food for 3 days, let's agree that two wrongs don't
make a right) If conversely (& less charitably), it IS his intention
to upset & anger us, then he is a psychological sadist who should not
be rewarded for his perverse behavior.

As an "Old Hippie", I know that passive resistance (You youngsters
can ask Grandma & Grandpa about "sit-ins") does not produce immediate
results, but given time it does effect change. In keeping with the
current topic of ferrets that cannot hear, let us teach Mr. L.
something new - that "silence is deafening".

Come on, people - we can do this!

And my final word on this subject is...
DOOKS!
