> "I will, however, defend myself when *pubically* flamed"
 
Bob, I would have to say you are well within your rights there.  If anybody
ever attempted to "pubically flame" me, I definitely would defend myself,
and most vigorously, too.  I mean, man, if there was ever a legitimate claim
for self defense, that would have to be it!
 
Your in-depth comments (lectures?) on the nature of ferrets are always very
interesting, useful and welcome.  More, please!
