I have belonged to this list for many years now. I don't post often, but I have made some dear ferret friends from this list. I have seen it go from a huge source of information to ferret owners, to a forum for airing dirty laundry to out and out hatefulness lately. I thought it was a trend and would calm down, but it seems that is not the case. For well over a year now I have skipped over posts that were nothing but hateful flames that I didn't feel belonged here because I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. I do not have to agree, I also don't have to read it. The truth is, it is getting harder and harder for me to find good in the FML, information that is useful or entertaining, between all the hate. I still think this is a useful tool, for those that are willing to weed out the nastiness. This last round over Rosie was the last straw for me. I have read a side of people that makes me ashamed and I don't like that feeling. So I am asking Big to please unsubscribe me. I see enough of the ugliness in the world by living in it, I don't want to be exposed to the ugliness by something that I intentionally asked to be delivered to my email daily. To my friends that I have made, please keep my email address and drop me a line. Thanks so much Big for all the hard work that you do. You truly have to be a Saint.
