>From: Kim Wolf <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Celtic and Mystyx ADV testing-Reply >Yes , I do. Ilsa was tested 3 times and is negative. That is great - seriously. And I hope she continues to test negative. After about a year of negative status, ferrets from my ferretry have started to test positive. >>You said that you never hid the fact - but you never admitted it, either. > >Publicly, I can see why.Look at the rumours! No - not posting honestly in the first place (ie "special needs" and not "ADV positive") is what starts rumors. Up front and honest never causes problems. >Everyone goes into a panic, embellishes, and exaggerates the truth. When >asked, private persons were told the whole truth. Yikes! I asked and got nasty e-mails! So public person were not told the truth? Is there a differences between the truth and whole truth? >You must be enjoying this "scandal" immensely and enjoy twisting the >truth. Why would I? I just wanted Kathy to explain what all her posts meant. Like why she advertised a ferret for what is was not. And why she said one was "special needs" and a month later planned on breeding it. >Maybe we should invent crap based on one incident about you and your >ferrets and spread it all over the internet too. But don't you see .... that has already happened. Believe me - I have heard all sorts of things. >How dare you!YOU CAN'T DENY THE FACT OF THE PAPERWORK SHOWING THEY ARE >NEGATIVE!!!! You can't deny that an ADV positive ferret was exposed to those negative ferrets. >I recently joined a web ring which she approved me in and let me use a >graphic from. Yes I did. However - you STOLE the graphic and then later asked for permission to use it. Tell it like it is, please. >I am removing that graphic. That is not necessary. I do not have a problem with you using it. After all - you asked and permission is granted. >How can she promote me as a shelter on her ring, yet badmouth me publicly >like this on an email list? Badmouth you? Please point out where I badmouthed you? I never mentioned you (I quoted Kathy's post which included your name). I do not know you from Adam, nor do I know much about your ferrets. Except that you got some from Kathy and what I have seen on your website(s). >I am the ONLY person (you used plurals in your post)who she "loaned" >her jills to. See - because I did not know. Please! TEST often! Do not think of the negative ADV test as a safety net! Ask Yvonne (as posted ont he ADV list) as she has negative CEP ferrets with POSITIVE for antigens! So the CEP test was a FALSE NEGATIVE! That or the ferrets do not have antibodies. >Do you realised you could be sued for defamation of character? If you >continue with this, I WILL seek legal advice.You are warned. For what? Re-quoting public e-mail messages in a group and questioning it? I never said "So and so have ADV". Never. I just said that at one point there was an ADV positive ferret and to becareful! Facts are not defamation of character.
