Here's part 3 of 4 on the best and worst comments of 2010.  Start at the beginning here in July and read it. It almost reads like a story and funny how it seems to connect in some places. And be sure to click on some of the links at the very end in "Links to this post" that were automatically posted there as a result of my adding my own links in this blog. Have phun.

Part 1 of 4 go here.

I bet he pissed in his pants when you met him first at NAD in California. Ha! What would I give to see that moment.

I dare you post this comment

I dare them to show up at the IRS/Deaf conference and make hay in her prescence.

GAHHHH!! HULK NO LIKE PUNY YELLOW-BELLIED HUMANS! HULK BASH! GAARRRRHHHHHHH---HHHAAAAARRRGHHHHHHH!!

I'm sorry your intelligence and vision are too limited to see the big picture and contemplate alternate possibilities.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/08/incredible-hulk-character-equals.html

I'm trying so hard not to laugh, but I have to agree with the Holism about the monopoly money.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/08/incredible-hulk-character-equals.html

I'm glad I wasn't raised using ASL.

I get so sick of this antagonism in the Deaf blogosphere. Why not focus on the REAL issues?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/erroneous-and-dishonest-blogging-by-cam.html

Usually, I'd hear occassional yowling.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deaf-lies-videos-and-squeaky-beds.html

I knew some deaf students are several years behind on the maturity level as I've had it with a handful of deaf classmates in the mainstreamed program.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/immaturity-of-some-deaf-people.html

Fish heads fish heads,
Roly poly fish heads,
Fish heads fish heads,
Eat them up yum.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/fried-brain-and-yummy-desserts.html

That almost looks like a Dr. Seuss book title.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/fried-brain-and-yummy-desserts.html

Her - I don't consider "deaf." She never grew up deaf and has no clue what it is like. So, so she really doesn't have any say in all this.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deafhood-religion-like.html

I’m glad that I didn’t end up being like them. I would kill myself if I’m like them.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deafhood-religion-like.html

But if they continue to do what they have been doing, bashing any communication mode that isn't ASL, I seriously doubt they would raise that much funding during my lifetime. Unfortunately, I think we'd all see flying pigs first.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deafhood-religion-like.html

I am sticking up for Kim... she learned ASL, expressed her thoughts as a late deafened person, etc. I DON'T support any belittling just because one is not deaf enough.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deafhood-religion-like.html

No ONE can FORCE their values upon you. The informed choice is YOURS.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deafhood-religion-like.html

I live in an area with a large number of core DHers. Anonymous I shall always be until something changes for the better. does that make me a coward?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/anonymous-comments-no-longer-allowed.html

Being Deaf isn't a religion, so belief in Deafhood or Paddy Ladd or even Deaf culture shouldn't be a requirement.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deaf-person-says-no-such-thing-as-deaf.html

She's not expressing her opinion on speaking vs signs, she is actually telling people, NO! you must not support oralism! You must HATE it!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/you-have-to-be-hard-of-hearing-to.html

She says basically speaking is fine, but oralism is bad. That being the case, how do deaf people learn to speak without oralism?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/you-have-to-be-hard-of-hearing-to.html

Through HLAA and ALDA, I am part of a growing, thriving, powerful mostly oral deaf community...
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/you-have-to-be-hard-of-hearing-to.html

The majority of deaf people signing ASL will never master English. It is indeed a last resort language.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deaf-culture-yes-blind-culture-no.html

There's no deaf cuisine, there is no deaf costume, there is no deaf religion, there is no deaf furniture, so who are we to say there is a deaf culture?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deaf-culture-yes-blind-culture-no.html

As Patty who is blind/visually impaired once said, they are at the bottom of the totem pole in the Deaf community.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deaf-culture-yes-blind-culture-no.html

Perhaps you have a personal angst against me and that is making you blind to what I write?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/deaf-culture-yes-blind-culture-no.html

We really had some good laughs, didn't we? Oh, so that's how it all began...
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/go-nad-turn-head-and-cough.html

It is very unfortunate that few people have resorted to ad hominem attacks to criticize you personally.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/when-deaf-community-sucks.html

I do see a bit of Socrates in you. Socrates was famous for questioning everything that really annoyed some people during his time.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/when-deaf-community-sucks.html

And no, I don't think you're out to destroy the deaf community. Haven't seen anyone deaf or hard of hearing who tries to do that.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/09/when-deaf-community-sucks.html

He's the one who has made our deaf blog world so negitive. He's one that has attacked everyone around him because of his POWER ego.

We're heading toward an idiocratic society, thanks to these people not making efforts to improve themselves intellectually.

Gawrrrshhhh, so some of us got dropped on our heads as babies a couple of times?

My curious mind leads me to wonder why folks read blogs that they have no interest, but yet their comments are those of "reactoraholics" word is copyrighted by this commentor, please send check or cash for literary license use of the word.

Best and Worst Responses for 2010, Part 2 of 4.

Continuing from Part 1 of 4.


April 2010

Since I got my new hearing aids, I have upgraded myself from 'deaf' to HH' I hear so much better with them and I am enjoying my friends at work so much!! Before that it was a chore to talk to anyone. Now I'm participating in the chatter and it has made a world of difference in my happiness at work.

Thanks to these people, the Deaf community is now a laughingstock.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/avdism.html

Instead of "F*ck the Deaf Community", that the hearing father already regretted, maybe it should be more of "F*ck the Mask of Benevolence Community".
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/fck-you-deaf-community.html

Wow. Strong words. Eventually that guy's daughter will turn up at an HLAA, ALDA or IFHOH Convention. She'll fit right in with the rest of us oral deaf people. No one will care how she communicates. Since more than 2/3 of all deaf people are oral deaf, she'll be in good company. ;-) I've met many, many like her.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/fck-you-deaf-community.html

Oh, I know. I know. You'll never understand.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/fck-you-deaf-community.html

I wonder If I, a mother wants to remove hair cells in my child's cochlea, will it be consider a child abuse?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/fck-you-deaf-community.html

Hedy-- You've used that example before and it creeps me out.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/fck-you-deaf-community.html

Ulaubooooo, scoobie doooooo, fuggamatich sammywich with mayo hamncheese!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

Mike...you never fail to disappoint me. Once again, you've shown how narrow minded and uneducated you are.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

hee hee ... good one, Mike! hope this one will go into your year-end collection of greatest zingers. good to see you haven't lost your way with words, or your sense of humor!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

Trevor, it's a satire. You're making a big frakking deal out of this satire. Chill out, dude.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html


Yup, Mike, you can chill now...my Deafologist group has just deemed you're not a suppressive after all. (Bzzzz) Oops that was my pager....let's see...ah...that was my commander...he says I must go back to auditing people. Well, excuse me, I'm gonna go now to spread the bliss! Peace out...
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

I have a BA and MA in English, so I know what a satire is.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

You got crushed by a Meriam-Webster dictionary over your two English degrees.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

I fully expect the Deafhood "leadership" to start looking for me now, as I am within their ranks, the most dangerous threat to their plans. I am: Fiver!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/deafhood-no-thanks.html

Hmmm... the potential hazard is you and your computer might be insanely brain washed instantly.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-posts-deafhood-warning-on-search.html

I just saw someone creating a new word: deaffort. Have no idea what it is. It is being discussed over in a very secluded and closed video world.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/very-special-people-hate-crime.html


And, Mike, lay off that hand-rubbing gesture for pausing. Kinda make you look like a villain gleefully plotting something with hand-rubbing. I had the same problem with experimenting my first couple vlogs.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/05/part-ii-mikes-asl-vlog-to-deaf.html

Heh heh. My plan is working flawlessly! *rubs hands.* You know, I don't have a plan. I just rub my hands together and chuckle.

I think it's sad someone is donating such a large sum of money to a group that is about doing nothing instead of to a group that is about doing SOMETHING.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/money-donated-to-deafhood-no-thanks.html

holding a doctorate degree isn't going to make you rich and successful.

Who makes fun of a kid? That guy is an ass.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/when-deaf-person-is-mocked-for-his.html

I honestly don't think that Deaf Hate Crime is materialized. Someone is trying to make money out of it. Hate Crime is enough.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/jumping-deaf-hate-crime-bandwagon.html

At your next Vlog, please take your hat off since I cannot see your eyes that are a significant part of ASL for understanding. thanks.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/jumping-deaf-hate-crime-bandwagon.html

Still laughing here on my end... showed the video to my daughter who laughed her head off. She said, "if he'd play the game once he'd know what monopoly money is".
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/critical-analysis.html

I was disappointed that they didn't make out in the end.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/sock-pow-its-deaf-dynamic-duo.html

Yep. A bunch of hypocrites. Why not attack Cerf for not giving up his AGBell medal award after 13 years? Bunch of wimps, emotional cry babies. I dare those Deaf extremists to challenge Cerf to give up his medal! I DARE YA!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/vincent-cerf-accepted-award-from-agbell.html

So...Al Gore didn't invent the Internets?

Don't you dare to mock or defile John Ebgert at all!

Some people need the esteem booster by meeting self-appointed leaders.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/poll-do-you-approve-ab2072-bill.html

How is it good to drill a hole and scrap off skull bone and insert some sort of foreign objection inside the head just to hear well? How is it good to teach "false" language like cued speech to deaf children. How is it good for children with profound hearing loss to learn to speak and hear when it s actually just a guessing game?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/poll-do-you-approve-ab2072-bill.html


I just read RLM’s post linking here. LOL. I must say reading his insane post keeps me sane.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/ag-bell-on-ab2072.html

It's a shame that Edwin Black has also marginalize the history of Jewish people by comparing this AB2072 bill as a possible road to eugenics.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/when-anti-ab2072-group-uses-nazi-labels.html

You or anybody else do not own deaf or hh babies. They are not your "Deaf babies." Nor are they born "Deaf" which is a cultural label to begin with.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/when-anti-ab2072-group-uses-nazi-labels.html

you spend more time going after AGBell than you do promoting ASL.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/when-anti-ab2072-group-uses-nazi-labels.html

Mike, most of us know your reputation being a subtle propagandist to destroy the Deaf community working on the betterment for all deaf babies. you made a choice to negate without going through the journey. again, you don;t want to take this journey and you choose to negate, negate...
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/deafhood-afa-and-cad-linked-as.html

That was fun!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/deafhood-afa-and-cad-linked-as.html

John, focus on ASL. Stop spending so much time, energy and effort going after AGBell, CI, and so on. This continues to be your Achilles Heel.

Terminological Terrorism

It's governments and boards that were controlled by white and hearing, STUPID!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/eugenics-of-deaf-indian-sign-language.html


You see David, deaf staffs also played oppressive roles on deaf Indian children back then. This is not news.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/eugenics-of-deaf-indian-sign-language.html

Cute. Trying to shift blame on ASL/Deaf people now, aren't we?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/eugenics-of-deaf-indian-sign-language.html

I will make my vlog about your irresponsible and uncredible article. Mike, I want you to be aware that I'll hold you accountable.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/eugenics-of-deaf-indian-sign-language.html

Hold me accountable? Over what? Do you know what a "thought exercise" is about?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/eugenics-of-deaf-indian-sign-language.html

I've monitored him for two years now and can safely assure you. He's so stuck inside of a closed society where people's thoughts are tightly regulated.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/eugenics-of-deaf-indian-sign-language.html

Yeah, it made me smile and also very excited to read this blog and then having heavy sadness for both Native Indian and deaf communities. Oh well, at least I know that we're all okay- just as human beings.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/06/asl-thrives-isl-dies-and-gets-pushed.html

I’m still waiting for Ebonics sign language to materialize from the black Deaf community so they wouldn't wanted to put up with whitey ASL no more.

Best and Worst Responses for 2010, Part 1 of 4.

Here's my latest review of responses from my blogs where I choose some of the best and worst responses (and some in-between) that were said in 2010. It’s up to you to decide which ones are the best and worst responses. I have done previous "Best and Worst Responses" in 2006 and 2007 but never did it for 2008 or 2009. I figured its time to do it again. Click on the links and see who said what. Perhaps you'll recognize your own response! Some of the names you’ll recognize while many others came from anonymous people. Some comments were like what a “hit and run” driver would do and be like a coward. But there were many names who were quite courteous and well behaved. A mish mash of comments to read and laugh over. Or frown fretfully over them.  I’ll put out 4 different "Best and Worst Responses" blogs from January through March (Part 1), April through June (Part 2), July through September (Part 3), and October through December (Part 4) in order to break them down into a more readable format that's not too lengthy. Here’s Part 1 (January through March). I’ll put the rest of Part 2, 3 and 4 over the next several days. Enjoy!


January 2010
Excellent post, Mike. It disgusts me, how people are buying into this, and especially how Gore is making money from all of this. Not to mention all the money we're pouring into "100-year-fixes".

February 2010
I wonder if RLM realizes that he did the exact opposite of his intention? Rather than getting people to think about A*dism (I hate that term) he made the whole Deaf Community look like intolerant jerks. That helps nobody.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/02/nfl-cochlear-implant-story-continues.html

(e, surprised? I'm not. It's not surprising that there's a lot of ignorant people in this world. Lots of idiots too. ;)
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-mike-mcconnell-anti-deaf.html

I think you're going to confuse the guy when you say you'll talk with him over the phone even though you are deaf. To me, the ability to use the phone is the line of demarcation between being deaf and not being deaf. How can someone who can understand another person's voice without any visual cues be considered deaf? I went deaf slowly over 15 years and the day I made my last phone call was the day I went deaf.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-mike-mcconnell-anti-deaf.html

I wouldn't be surprised if that happen someday. Some Deaf people are simply mentally unstable. Pink rooms for them.

Karma is real bitch for what will do to Rush if he choose not to donate his $$$ to the Deafhood Foundation.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-hope-deafhood-fails.html

As for Deafhood, it's been twisted into a psychological weapon against any d/Deaf person who chooses to use speech and hearing technology, never mind that that person probably may also use ASL and come from a Deaf family, for example. Oralism, speech, and hearing technology are the latest taboos, according to a few Deafhood activists. And thru Deafhood Foundation's associations with DBC and AFA, one can only wonder what next?
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-hope-deafhood-fails.html

Deafhood already failed. The proof is in the pudding!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-hope-deafhood-fails.html

Even Olise made lot of hate speech against deaf. WAKE UP!
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/03/breaking-deaf-hate-speech-found.html

Been arrested yet on Deaf hate speech charges? Lol.
http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/03/breaking-deaf-hate-speech-found.html

Whenever they disagree with others' opinions at either ASLrocks or DVTV, they would call them "hate crime/speech".  I honestly don't believe them at all.
