Good grief. Please realize that when I first joined this list, Bill
answered EVERY query about sick gerbils and behavior, and did so with great
kindness. In fact, few people did. I can honestly say that he, Julian, and
a couple of others wrote back.

<<<I am sure that the majority of us have read all of your e-mails.
Unfortunately, even if we agree with some of your criticism, I for one do
not approve of your tactics. I guess no one will ever accuse you of tact. I
am a lot more tolerant of those who ask, "Ball and dumb questions", than an
adult that has not learned from life to express concerns without the brash
and cruel criticism.>>>>>>
Janet,
Thank you for stating what I was planning to in a much more tactful way
that I would have.
Bill,
Who died and made you God of the GML?
Okay, well, there I pretty much stated my age. I'm 15 years old, for those
of you who feel age and knowledge, and maturity, go hand in had. Gerbil
breeders tend to be younger people. There are adults on this list who are
breeders, there are teens, and we're supposed to get along...to accept one
another for who we are as people...and the fact that some people lack
know-how, or the ability to find information by themselves. You bash people
for asking color questions while someone else is 'mourning the loss of their
beloved gerbil'...you bash people for asking questions YOU already know the
answer too..perhaps some of them haven't been around the GML, or gerbils as
long as you have. I know when you first joined, the people were happy to
help you with your questions, and loved to read your posts. Now I read them
and I get angry...could you PLEASE post ONE thing to the GML that doesn't
bash another person? Awhile back I posted a very important question about
how to care for my gerbil's eye, which had no fur surrounding it, and was
half way closed. Margo's eye was treated with neosporin, and is now all the
way closed, but the fur has grown back. No one answered me then...but you
can spout out countless posts complaining about one thing or another. Wow,
this e-mail got long, and I'm not even sure if you're going to read
it....however, if you are reading this, then please know that since you know
so very well how to bookmark pages with GML instructions on it, you also
know how to unsubscribe should we get to annoying for you *again*. Bill, I
understand the sitation with Kristen upset you, it upset a lot of
us...however, it's time to move on, and accept people for what age they
are...what maturity they are...and how much about gerbils and finding
information they know.
~Tasha~
