Here it is folks. My signed message to the deaf and hard of hearing community. Something to help dispel some myths, misconceptions and misunderstandings. Basically it's time to start with my signing and video-taping. I've been thinking about this for a few months now and I suppose there is no better time than now to bring out this video for you fans (and not so friendly fans) of Kokonut Pundit. I plan to do a 2nd video later on tonight since this first video I didn't have time to finish the rest of what I wanted to say and still have some thoughts left over. At any rate, here's my first video to help squelch some rumors and more.

Yoohoo...yoohoo... I'm tickled! Great job there Mike.
Hiya, handsome, know that timing was of the essence to get this vid out. How about some captioning or a transcript for those of us who aren't as fluent in sign as you? ;)
Oh, yah, you're better at the signing than I am, by a long shot, lol.

Mike,
These will dispel many things. They cannot label you an audist, or whatever is the "label" of the week. It is okay to be you.
Good job!
~smiling broadly~
Whoo! I saw your post earlier today at work and said darn it! Can't view the video till I get home! So, here I am and I think that's awesome that you decided to make a video showing you signing.
I agree, attacking the person and labeling people just isn't productive to discussing issues.
And, for everyone of us who have preference as to how we wish to live our life is ok. There's so many ways to be deaf.
Hello. Certainly a surprise to see you signing. :) I enjoyed it.
I agree, things can get ugly when it comes to deaf politics. I'm curious, tho- have you read youtube comments on non-deaf controversial videos? I think the society in general is finding it harder and harder to disagree in a civil manner. This saddens me.
I could not find anywhere to contact you, can you contact me to discuss special attention on adult cyberbullying? It's urgent.
Contact me directly as email is shown. I will only reply to you not anyone else, Mike McConnell.
