I have to agree w/ the posts of many people on this list from the last issue of the FML that I read (Fri going into Sat) - "Mr" Lipinski has reached an all-time LOW w/ his fake "SaraFerret" story. I personally don't read those posts myself - but if they bring others comfort, that's fine, & they have the right to be posted, read, & appreciated by those who benefit from them. Even though I don't usually read the "Bridge Greeter" posts, reading "Mr" Lipinski's tome the other evening made me *shudder* w/ horror. Seeing that one of my ferrets, Max, who is presently incurably ill, & who will not be w/ our family for much longer, reading this piece of....whatever you want to call it...... made me physically ILL. Furthermore, it made me seriously doubt "Mr" Lipinski even *likes* ferrets. Add this latest insult to the ferret community to his continual diatribes against the proven science regarding ferret nutrition, his suggestions that abusing ferrets is the way to make them behave (squirting ice water in their ears; staking them outside w/ no food or water for days to stop them from biting, then only feeding them what they're able to lick off your finger; ad nausium), & his continual belittlement of the intellect of the ferret community as a whole, & I think the proof is there - this person offers nothing of value to the ferret community, has gone out of his way to insult just about every section of the population who inhabits this list, & therefore, should not be permitted to post here any longer. I think the majority of his posts are not only inappropriate, but also contain misinformation that could prove to be disastrous, should a person new to ferrets follow his misguided instructions. BIG, if you're keeping track, please add my vote to the list that wishes "Mr" Lipinski, & his Bell Curve, be removed from this list permanently.
