Why the Snarkyism Carl?

First order, congrats to Russell on his successful surgery for his new cochlear implant. He took the time to chronicle his pre-surgery and post-surgery videos (See Pre-surgery, Post surgery,  Post surgery Day #2....more?).  His activation will begin this Friday and I'm sure many will be anxious to see how it goes and join in with his wife and son who both wear cochlear implant. A first and second generation family of cochlear implant users! It's like Sound and Fury all over again with another first and second generation family of cochlear implant users. 

They will still be deaf but will certainly have much greater access to sound than ever before. This is not about being "disabled" but about what you can do and not about on what you cannot do.  But for one deaf person to go online and do a snarky video about Russell's post-implantation results and congratulate him by calling him "disabled" raises the question on his maturity or the lack of maturity for that matter.
