After reading Sukie's post and accusations that Kim made false statements about her ferrets, I went back and reread Kim's post yesterday. Nowhere in any of Kim's posts could I find any reference to Sukie's ferrets whatsoever. The only reference to Sukie I could find was this: >Doing something for "27 years" does NOT equate to doing something >beneficial or correct- just notes that something being done has >become a habit." I agree with her, as longevity does not equate to expertise. Newcomers in any field can be more knowledgeable in certain areas than the old timers, as they do not take anything for granted and do their research rather than just accepting what they are told. I, for one, appreciate all the time and hard work Kim has put into researching the correct diet for ferrets and sharing it with FML readers. I believe Sukie owes Kim an apology for her false accusations. Also, her name is "Kim," not "Kimmie." If this, along with the frequent references to her as a "newbie," is meant to demean her and diminish the credibility of her posts, it was a dismal failure as it only served to point out that Sukie chose to attack the person and not the information which Kim posted.
