I guess there are always some people that want argue about something. Some people seem to be unable to be civil and polite when using email. However, I want to say that I have found most of the people on these lists to be fun, intelligent and just plain great. So I stay on the list and visit and try to help. It is my policy to never reply to a derogatory post aimed at myself thru the use of these lists. I always feel that if someone has not come to me privately, first, then they are being unfair and nasty. Like every person in the world there are some people that do not like me and I feel that is there problem. But as a breeder I refuse to argue in the public forum of this list. My breeding practices are open to any and all to see (after all the pedigrees of all my ferrets are posted for all to see), my guarantees and contracts are there for all, as well as my feeding and care practices. I also have pictures of my cages and every ferret. I have nothing to hide and welcome visitors. So if you see a flame directed at me or mine, do not expect a reply. I live in a pleasant world and with the help of the delete button, intend to keep it that way. To everyone on this list.... Have a great and wonderful New Year.
