I posted yesterday why I choose to be anonymous, but I also would like to thank you on responding to my shedding question and ferret weight. I do not like hiding behind "Anonymous", but there are just to many people flaming right now on different opinions. As I said in my letter about being anonymous yesterday, we all give our opinions, and it may not help us with our situation, or we may not believe in that treatment, it actually may help someone else. When we give our advice, it is giving our opinion, so we should allow every other poster to do so without being flamed. There is much to be learned on fml, and it's a very good board for new ferret owners, but when they see flames, flames for giving an opinion, they tend to turn away and do things on their own, and that is NOT what we want. We want everyone, to come on the board to seek advice, but we must put all flames aside because when we do give our opinion to a situation, it's not meant to hurt anyone, we are just giving our experience and like I said, if it doesn't help you and your fuzzie, it just may help anothers. Many of you do know me, and if you read into my posts you will see who I am, but for now I can't say because I do not want to be flamed for giving my opinion, when we all post our suggestions ,we are giving our opinion. I want you all to get to really know me, by my posts as JC, not as what or who you know me as, but read my posts daily, and then you will be able to decide if I am correct with what I say, or if I am not. I will respect what ever opinion you have of me, or of my posts, but please, no flaming. Fml is a wonderful board, and it is not meant to be flamed on, or to turn people away from. We need to work together to make this board informative, and comfortable for others, and we all should thank BIG for helping keep it as clean as he does. Just another humble opinion.
