Gary Kaskel writes: ...I find it offensive that he continues this dialogue seemingly for the purpose of interjecting his personal opinions about the merits of our legal strategy just to be contentious. We have an attorney who specializes in constitutional law. We don't need Mr. Dorn's advice... It seems to me that Kaskel has been very hostile toward Dorn, who was just commenting on a post to the FML. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a forum for ferret DISCUSSION? Doesn't "discussion" mean that anyone can talk about things other people have mentioned? I read Dorn's first message regarding what Kaskel said, and it wasn't subversive to the efforts of people trying to support the rights of ferret owners, or to anything else. It was just some discussion. For awhile, I thought both Kaskel and Dorn had valid points. However, I feel that Kaskel has gone way over the limits of civil discussion, and his hostility makes me uncomfortable. Hostile people aren't going to be arguing a case for ferrets' rights very well. Reasonable people will, though. Kaskel, please be reasonable, and respect the opinions of others. Carol-Anne [Posted in FML issue 1148]
