Just wanted to say that I am very sad about people leaving the list because of fighting and pettiness. We have to understand with as many people on this list , that there will be differences of opnion, thats just the real world. But attacking people personally is another thing. When I joined this list, I was attacked as a shelter and responed very harshly in return, I regret doing that because it just lowered myself to the other persons level. Since then I have never responed to posts that make me mad, I just over look them. I think that if we all did that or responeded to the person posting personally that the FML can again become a great list that is fun to read, no just skim through. The FML is not a boxing ring, its a source of information and a place for us to share our stories, medical problems of ferrets and such info. Remember no one is perfect, we all make mistakes and we just have to get on with life and what is really important, the ferrets! As you may have noticed, I haven't posted any more tattoo stories or Funny Farm stories, I saw that someone was offended about them and that hurt my feelings, I was just trying to lighten up the list because of attacks on a certain shelter mom. I didn't think it was getting to personal, I loved seeing the tattoo posts from other closet tattooed people, LOL. But you can't please everyone, and I stopped trying to do that many years ago. BTW, Erin and I had our ears tattooed with 2 F's, for Funny Farm, its on the back of our left ears, so now we are marked like our ferrets! We though it would be funny if other ferret folks did it too, it would be like a secret socitey of ferret fanatics. My tattoo guy Boom also did a ferret tattoo on my arm and one on Erin's neck, what a great job. We are preping him to become the worlds greatest ferret tattoo artist! So please take time to enjoy this list that BIG does such a great job in moderating, if you don't enjoy it why bother to be a member, just to nitpick and fight? I second a motion for another list just for the troublemakers. Well gotta go scoop the poop!
