I blog.
They twitch.
I speak.
They moan.
I investigate.
They scream.
I shrug.
They convulse.
I laugh.
They accuse.
I hear.
They insult.
No matter what I do, many will never be satisfied with who I am or what I do. And if you dare say anything negative they'll take out their "deafhood" bible and accuse you of blasphemy and heresy, and summarily condemn you for not following. Last I look it was supposed to be a concept, not a cult.
No thanks. I want none of that. I just rather accept people for who they are and not about what they are and leave politics out of it.
Deaf/hh bloggers have their own opinions, experiences and knowledge over a variety of subjects and that's what make diversity in a blogging world such an interesting thing to observe and participate. But there are selfish people out there. According to my latest poll result approximately 30% of those who answered my poll question want me to stop blogging which is rather a selfish thing to request while approximately 70% of them said I should continue to blog.
I blog.

Personally, I think you have a good mind and speak the best of your ability to have a good opinion about certain issues as well as questioning the validity of the opinions. I think it is great that you have the ability to speak, hear, and utilize sign language. Just be yourself and do the best as you can in life. :)

Selfish???? *scratching my head* You asked. People answered on your poll. Some people voted for you to stop blogging. Um...So? That is their opinion. They expressed it. Others who voted for you to blog on expressed their opinion. Nothing more. Nothing less.
So, how is it selfish to tell you to stop blogging? I question that logic.
You also called people who voted for you to stop blogging cowards because they wouldn't give their reasons. Um. Polls are polls, and aren't designed to include comments, normally.
FYI: I refrained from voting in your poll since I saw it as pointless and a waste of time IMHO. The decision to blog or not to blog is ultimately yours. It doesn't really matter what others think, does it?
I also didn't vote. Why even ask it it makes no difference what you do?
It's also my opinion that it's selfish to demand a blogger to stop blogging. Yes, selfish. Think about it. Just because their own sensibilities get offended easily and in order to protect their fragile minds they demand that I stop blogging. Ever thought about not bothering to read my blogs instead?
Um, those who voted can comment in my blog. And, yes, those who voted that I stop blogging are cowards if they refuse to even comment on why I should stop blogging.
I question the validity of their opinions demanding that I stop blogging. I have that right and freedom to express what I feel.
Then don't vote, Dianrez. Why do you even bother to comment?
You blog, therefore you are lol A blog is primarily an personal expression of view , we must always digest it on that fact, let he (She even), who is without bias, PROVE IT:) Whenever I read "As an neutral observer.." you know they aren't. Life is diversity, deafhood is about redefining that.
"deafhood" is simply politics with a cultish-like following, nothing more.
They criticize.
Mike whines about it in every other blog post.

anony @ 2:38PM,
You're confused. It's the other way around. Read the comments in those blogs of mine. Maybe point out an example of this "whining" post you're alluding to might help here.
