"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" John 8:7 As a rule I try to stay out of all this nastiness but in the case of today's negative post regarding "Distemper in Shelter", I feel the need to return the ROCK that was cast at Jenny Peterson! And to thank Jenny her for the heart wrenching post in the attempt to help and warn others. I am disappointed when I see flames thrown on the fml! Is this not a place of learning and sharing? Is there really the need to belittle or insult others? I think not. This kind of post discourages people from posting valuable information that newcomers may not be aware of. If you disagree with someone or are "flabbergasted", there are much kinder and more productive ways to deal with your differences. I would not be writing this post had you, Jonathan, maybe posted something like, "Ferrets for Dummies has some very helpful information in chapters.... that might help you in your efforts to help and re-home ferrets" PERIOD People, please remember that everyone has a heart and feelings when you post on the fml. Respectfully submitted to Big and all that read the fml. -- Karen Young Ferret Affair [Moderator's note: This post, and the one above it, make it apparent that perhaps Jonathan's post was misunderstood. I don't think he was implying JENNY's shelter needed to read Ferrets for Dummies, I believe he meant the South Animal Care Center shelter needed to read the book! I had the same thought as the above posters when I first saw Jonathan's post and considered writing him to explain the situation, but I quickly decided, as did Staci, what Jonathan must have meant and let the post through. I hope we were correct. BIG] [Posted in FML 6389]
