The Meaning of the Word "Cordial"

I knew it was a matter of time until Ridor spilled the beans publicly about our low-keyed meeting during the NAD conference by saying I was never cordial during the meeting. But Dave Evans being the neutral observer while he was there saw the whole thing. He can confirm on how the first initial meeting went. It was more than cordial on my part than anything else.

Now, I'm not surprised that Ridor chose to do this by letting everybody know in his blog about this meeting that took place between us during the NAD convention in Palm Springs, California. I never once said a word publicly about this meeting until now. Though I am suprised it took him this long to come out and say that I wasn't the cordial person in this meeting. I was sure he would somehow twist this whole meeting to suit his own needs. However, I extended my fullest courtesy to him during our entire meeting with him. Yet Ridor choose to be dishonest in his attempt to paint me as a discourteous or uncordial person in this matter. Never mind the fact that *I* went out of my way on my *own initiative* to be courteous and cordial as possible when I confronted him first.

I was respectful enough not to indulge this to the whole internet public because this was strictly a private affair between us that occurred on June 30, 2006. Even Dave Evans saw this as a private meeting between two individuals, too. But Ridor being Ridor choose NOT to keep quiet. I knew it was a matter of time until Ridor tried to find a way to "inform" the readers on the very public internet on what may have happened. As usual, it didn't take long for him to let out his first peep on July 8, 2006 on Dave Evan's NAD: Personal Reflections II blog. A record 8 days that Ridor managed to keep quiet until he finally let out his first clue (unless you count July 3 as an earlier record). It was a small peep right there. Enough to help set the rumour mill in motion. It was only a matter of time until he could "no longer" keep quiet because he was "forced" to answer the rumours that he started publicly over the internet.

Sure doesn't sound very cordial to me.

Here's how it went.

I did confront Ridor....twice, as a matter of fact, regarding the things he had done that was out of line and inflamatory. The two separate meetings were indeed courteous and cordial with a lively discussion in parts while some were more subdued and serious. The lengthier discussion mainly took place in the first meeting rather than the second one. This was no laughing matter considering what he had done. Also, as a reminder to all those people on the matter of being cordial, I initiated two handshakes after Ridor and I were done talking in the first and the second meeting. Those handshakes I offered was my way of showing my courtesy and respect and that there was never any bad blood to begin with. Well, at least on my part. We parted our own ways without much fanfare or attracted any undue attention after we had our say. If the offering of my handshake is not being courteous or cordial then I don't know what is.

In the first meeting we had to end the discussion because I, my wife, Ridor and Dave Evans (serving as a neutral and participating observer) wanted to attend Part 4 of the Deafhood workshop which was about to begin. I initiated my handshake to Ridor by extending my hand out to him in good faith to end the discussion on a relatively good note so that all of us could attend Part 4 Deafhood workshop. Dave and my wife were witnesses to that handshake courtesy. If that's not being cordial or courteous then I don't know what is.

Now, the main gist in the first meeting that *I initiated* was to discuss with him about him going too far on other deaf or Deaf people such as the wishing the death of a deaf father's infant son in his blog which was clearly stepping over the line. No doubt. Dave agreed. I told Ridor that there are consequences to his actions when it comes to writing about other people in a public setting such as the internet/blog solely to smear and defame without much to back up his charges. It gets worse if he involves other family members who were never a party to any the discussion in the first place. I reiterated that it's better to attack the argument rather than the person or his/her family by presenting a case to counter it. That was a good rule of thumb.

Here's the beginning of how it got started.

When I arrived in Palm Springs starting on June 27 I never went looking for him at the NAD convention. I had no intention of doing that and waste my time or energy to do such an unnecessary thing. I was busy helping my good friends of mine with their exhibit booths and met up with familiar people from Gallaudet University. If I were to run into Ridor at any time then I will have that opportunity to set up a dialogue with him. The odds of running into him was nearly assured anyway.

I finally bumped into him 3 days later after arriving in Palm Springs. It happened in the Exhibits Hall during the NAD convention on June 30. I told him right then and there that I wanted to see him later on that day to discuss some things since I was already doing my errands. He didn't recognize me right away and I had to explain quickly to him on who I was. You could say that he was a bit, uh, "shocked" once he realized who I was. I knew he wouldn't seek me afterwards and so I knew it would be up to me to re-initiate the contact...again. Will lightening strike twice?

An hour later or so after doing some errands I finally saw him the second time with him talking to some of his friends or associates in the Exhibits Hall near the main exit doors. I walked across the Exhibits Hall towards him and waited patiently for about 10 to 15 minutes standing only but several feet away while I leaned on one of the exhibit booths near the entrance. No glaring at him while I stood. No huffing and puffing. No interrupting his talking to his friends since that would be absolutely rude and unwarranted. Nothing to attract unnecessary attention. I waited until he was finished so I could re-initiate the contact on a formal basis. If that's not being courteous or cordial then I don't know what is.

He knew I was there. He glanced over to me several times where I stood while he talked with his deaf friends. There was no avoiding it. A meeting was inevitable. I made sure of it. It was now or never. What could he be thinking?

After he was done talking with his friends at the Exhibits Hall I told him that we needed to talk and that we needed to go some place discreet. He seemed to agree. So we left the Exhibits Hall with him following behind me while I look for a proper and discreet area so as not to attract any unnecessary attention while we have our dialogue. I found two lounge chairs with a small table in the hallway near where Part 4 Deafhood workshop would take place. The hallway was a good area with not much traffic to get distracted or command any attention. If that's not being courteous or cordial enough then I don't know what is.

We started our discreet discussion while we sat in our lounge chairs in the hallway (near where the 4th Deafhood workshop was to be held) for about 5 minutes until David Eberwein came up and interrupted our discussion so he could talk to Ridor. I waited patiently even though I was a bit peeved at this interruption when my train of thought was interrupted. I waited until David Eberwein was finished so I could resume the discussion with Ridor. David Eberwein was completely unaware of what was going on. Nothing out of the ordinary could be seen between two individuals sitting in lounge chairs in the hallway of the Marriott hotel during the NAD convention just like all the others. DE finally left. Ridor and I resumed our dialogue. After a few minutes of discussion Dave Evans, my former roommate at Gallaudet, quietly showed up to watch the discussion unfold. He knew exactly what was going on. Dave would prove to be an important participant but neutral observer who stayed in the background while he watched and interjected only when necessary. That is what you call being courteous and cordial.

During the discussion Ridor tried several times to use his own faulty logic saying that he sent emails to Dale Patterson (deaf owner of Deafreedom) inquiring whether he sent the offensive comments in his submission box (which can't be traced anyway). Ridor said he never received an answer from him and so he blogged about it saying that it was Dale Patterson who wrote the comment hoping that Ridor would die of AIDS. Not so. The very act of not replying to any emails is not an admission of guilt. Even this wouldn't stand in a court of law.

My wife was with me as well throughout the whole time and was equally involved to a degree since Ridor did call her a "cafeteria worker" numerous times (here, here, here and here in DeafDC - see comment #4146) in a derogatory manner in his blogs and elsewhere. Of course, by saying "cafeteria worker" brings up images of ugly women serving slop at your school cafeteria. Yet, this was his sole intent to paint a picture for his blog readers. Ridor never met my wife prior to our meeting. He didn't even know what she she looked like in the first place. It was Ridor's own warped intent to purposely try and portray my wife as an ugly woman that I married.

My wife was a professional caterer at Gallaudet University. She was a "cafeteria worker" only just barely briefly before working as a professional caterer as part of the transition. She served meals and drinks for IKJ, BoTs, professors, dignitaries, actors and actresses, Bernard Bragg, Gil Eastman, alumni parties, Congress people, Jimmy Carter and his wife, and so on for 4 or 5 years. Not exactly a job that fits a description as a "cafeteria worker."

And you know what else is amazing, folks? Ridor never even had the courage or the balls to apologize to my wife while she stood there in front of him when I reminded him during the discussion that he called her a "cafeteria worker." Even Dave Evans agreed upon hearing that for the first time that calling my wife a "cafeteria worker" was simply going over the line when one goes after a family member of a person he doesn't like. Ridor had every opportunity (I didn't need to spell it out to him, he's a big boy) to apologize to her. Even after the Part 4 Deafhood workshop he didn't even try and apologize to my wife, either. Not doing so is certainly not what you call as being coureous or cordial. More like being a coward by not owing up to family members who had no involvement in this whole affair.

In my second visit with him he approached me and m wife as soon as we exited through the double doors of the Exhibits Hall. He asked us nicely if things were all right. I said..."No." I reminded him about his cell phone antics on his blog by taking out my cell phone while I mimicked talking on the phone saying that I will talk on my cell phone in any "deaf dominated places." He wanted to change his position on the spot by saying he wasn't trying to say that all. I practically said that was a bunch of B.S. simply because of the way how he wrote it in his blog. He would rather wanted to ensure an ASL only, no voice and no cell phones in "deaf dominated places." That includes Gallaudet University. How else would anyone interpret his writing with that kind of an attitude? His attitude certainly didn't sound very "deafhood- like" to me at all.

The next move was a surprise. He said after thinking about it (i.e. after the first meeting) he admitted that he did in fact cross the line in his confession to us after thinking about it awhile (some two or three hours later) and bantered on a few minutes more. With the discussion coming to an end he tried to be the loose and friendly person with me thinking he won a friend. He's sorely mistakened to think otherwise. And yet, again, he never took the opportunity to apologize to my wife during the second meeting. And if he agreed that he did go over the line, how come he never apologized to Dale Patterson, a deaf father, for wishing the death of his infant son in the hope he trip over him accidentally?

Not very cordial.

To end the whole this whole discussion, I initiated, again, a 2nd firm handshake with Ridor as a sign of courtesy and respect.

The whole thing was amazingly peaceful even though I was pissed about what he had done. It was about being civil in a discussion. It was about restraint. It was about communicating. It was about addressing false perspectives. Prior to my initiated handshake with Ridor I told him that his blog has lots of potential but if he keeps it up by disparaging other people including their families, somebody else will go after him. Yet he explained in the first meeting that he only wanted to "push buttons" on other people. I guess "pushing buttons" means wishing a father who is deaf that Ridor doesn't like would trip over his own 7 month old son in the hope that he kill him accidently.?Suffering a guilt far worse than death itself? I guess that takes a big man to say that by going after an infant son? I guess "pushing buttons" means going after family members of a person who he does not like by calling the person's spouse a "cafeteria worker" would make him to be the bigger person? The Deaf community must be extremely proud of him as Ricky "I hope your baby dies" Taylor?

Ridor. Learn to be a bit more humble. Do the right thing. Don't be a coward.

And lastly, let me give you one business advice, Ridor.

Whenever you meet or greet people with a handshake. Make sure it's a firm handshake but not like a death grip. A firm handshake shows confidence and verve. When I took the initiative to offer a handshake (twice that is) to you, Ridor, it was like shaking a limp noodle. That was probably one of the most disturbing part in this whole encounter between us.

At any rate, good luck with your blog, Ridor, and don't stop what you're doing. I truly mean it. This is not about me being bitter. Rather it's that I'm mildly disappointed in how you behaved and wondered why you keep going off like a Roman candle whenever you involve me. Let it be known that it was you who chose to start this whole thing by calling me out as not being cordial during our meetings. I had no recourse here but to set the record straight for all those blog readers out there. I would have rather kept this out and forgottened. Yet, you insisted on pushing those "buttons."

You reap what you sow, Ridor.

Btw, I hardly ever frequent Free Republic to read what goes on over there. I post certain announcements when I can such letting people know about Greg Gunderson and other things. Also, I'm like a kid in a candy store with the internet being the vast library full of information. I can only spend so much time visiting the many websites and blogsites out there. If Ridor thinks I spend all my time reading the Freeper website, he's sorely mistakened. I have not seen anything to the contrary of anybody making fun about deaf or hard of hearing people. If so, I'd be the first to address that. There is such a thing when people are totally ignorant of the facts and that a slight bit of education would do them a lot of good.

When a Deaf Person Goes Too Far

Ridor on my cousin Gregory Stone (April 2005) who was murdered in Kuwait in the tent grenade attack a few days before the Iraq war leaving behind his fiance' and kids - " ...second, to make fun of his dead, mangled cousin who is rotting six feet under the cold ground."

Image and perception are everything but there is this one unbelievable Deaf person who keeps stepping over the line with the lies and accusations by libeling other deaf/Deaf/hh people and/or by wishing them with death, injury or suffering out of his own malice, hate and with lots of grudges. He has managed to put down some successful Deaf, deaf and hard of hearing people on what they have achieved so far in support of their deaf and Deaf communities. If he's willing to libel and post lies with no links or proof, then I'm willing to post facts, proofs, compelling evidences and links.

Now, I do not have the desire to wish upon an innocent person's death, injury or the suffering of diseases or whatever. There is a difference between not liking somebody versus the utter hatred and grudge against a person that makes him to say such vile and hurtful things. It is even more vile and evil to wish the death of an innocent baby belonging to a parent. I don't do such things by wishing with such malice against people like that, not even on Ridor or his friends. I am not in the business to make vile comments just to increase website hits. Neither does an upright and honest deaf Christian man with his wife and infant son who is a friend of mine. I am in the business to see that deaf, Deaf and hard of hearing people succeed in life whenever I blog about them. But when push comes to shove, I have no recourse but to state the obvious here in my blog. There is such a thing as going too far, and Ridor did just that by wishing the death of a parent's infant son hoping the deaf father will trip and fall on his baby. This is the classic sign of a grudge filled hate and just wanting to be plain mean to other people. I have no jealousy about his blogsite. I have no malice towards him. I have no vile hatred. I never held a grudge to the point of stalking a blogsite (like mine) by using various IP address from Las Vegas to the computer rooms at Gallaudet University after being banned over a year ago for making vile and profane comments against those who posted comments on my blogsite. I am not that type of a person. However, I am a human being and I am never perfect. And I do have emotions and feelings.

If it's anything to give the Deaf community a black eye, it would be the notorious Ricky Dorian Taylor or Ridor for short his nickname. Either way, he also goes by Ricky Taylor or Ricky D. Taylor. For every positive step forward that the Deaf community is trying to forge ahead, Ricky has the unsurprising ability to notch down positive actions by the Deaf community with his antics by spewing vile hate against other deaf, Deaf, and hard of hearing people. This isn't unity. This isn't about "Deafhood". This isn't debating. This is about his obvious hypocrisy and hate towards other people. Pure and simple. He thrives on attacking people and creates his own little drama queen fantasy world.

I hate to come down to this but what he did to wish upon an upstanding but deaf Christian father the death of his infant son with the hope that he trip over him and fall on him with his large frame calling him a "lard ass weight" (note the irony of his comment with a picture of Ridor as grossly overweight). Ridor gave me no recourse but to display to the Deaf world for exactly who he is. A hypocrite within the Deaf community.

Remove the mask, Ridor.

For anybody to wish for the death of a parent's infant baby holds the deepest of all grudges with utter pure hate. Unreal. Ridor should make a public apology to the Deaf community and to Dale Patterson and his wife for making those hateful comments (note: Dale is the deaf owner of the ever so popular Deafreedom forum). Else, if he refuses to apologize to him and to the Deaf community for his irresponsible actions then it comes down that Ridor does not believe in unity or even "Deafhood" unless he can make the needed positive changes about himself and toward other deaf, Deaf and hard of hearing people.

Below is a history of his hate filled and vile comments thrown and smeared against deaf, hard of hearing and Deaf people that are either a part of the Deaf community or not. He has smeared against those who do not conform to his militant Deaf Culture ideals. I have provided the links as proof of his behavior and his antics where his mask of hypocrisy is now blown clear for the Deaf community to see. The Deaf community can decide for themselves on exactly who this Deaf character is for who and what he is, and how they need to address this.

The first comment below can be seen in the Deafreedom forum website owned by a deaf Christian father named Dale Patterson. By the way, Dale has never sent any emails to Ridor for over a year and Ridor, again, has failed to show any proof that the email originated from Dale. Dale has never wished such things as Ridor is claiming. It is not within Dale's character to be like that.

Ridor on Dale Patterson - "To Dale Fatterson: Hey to the 400-lb guy, thanks for the email where you said you hope to see me die of AIDS. I hope you trip and fall on your infant and kill the infant with your lard ass weight — this one probably will torture you more than death itself. It is the least thing you deserved for sending these malicious comments to my blog — but thanks for visiting, though!"

Ridor on Mike McConnell of Kokonut Pundits on GallyNet-L (June 22 13:25:05 EDT 2006) - "Go and fight some forest fires. Do me a favor, you'll do the c0mmunity service if you perish in it."

Here were have Brenda Brueggemann who is a deaf Associate Professor at Gallaudet University who prefers to use her voice. She is also currently interim head of the Gallaudet University board of trustees. Ridor discriminated against Professor Brueggeman's choice to use her voice at the 2006 Commencement exercises at Gallaudet University by mocking her decision. Note how Ridor emphasized "on the property of Gallaudet University" as a hint, hint...ASL only mode of talking allowed on the campus of Gallaudet University:

Ridor on Brenda Brueggemann (May 12, 2006) - "Today, we have the interim Chair, Brenda Brueggermann, who came on the stage during the Commencent Exercises. She is deaf, and guess what she did? She barked and yowled. She used her voice, as the interim Chair of Gallaudet’s Board of Trustees, on the property of Gallaudet University, to address the audience."

After lashing at Brueggeman for the use of her voice which was amazingly clear and concise at Gallaudet University's May 12, 2006 Commencement speech after I watched and listened to the video of the Commencement exercises, please note the irony and hypocrisy of Ridor who pretended to support "unity" one month later as seen below:

Ridor (22nd June 2006) - "Now try to apply yourself to the issues within the Deaf Community. For years, many Deaf people has disintegrated into different groups (Hard of Hearing, D/deaf, latened Deaf, CIs, Cued speech, Oral, ASL, SEE et al), we could not bind together in the best interest of our basic needs and rights. Who divided us? Hearing people and internalized oppressed deaf individuals.

We need to stop thinking that we have to respect others in order to buy peace, but it is false peace. We need to convince the others to understand that they can be Deaf even if they can hear a little — even if they can talk well - even if they have CIs, even if they use the cued speech! We need to stop allowing the internalized oppressed deaf individuals from trampling our basic needs and rights. It is time to fight back for our dignity and pride!"

Who divided us? Ridor is doing a good job by himself. There's more below.

Another one of his hypocrisy is his refusal to acknowledge that anyone who graduated from Gallaudet University as a deaf or hard of hearing person cannot be a representative of Gallaudet University regardless of how much one has contributed or very little or none at all:

Ridor from DeafDC, post #4244 (2006-05-20 14:25:04) in response to my comment where I said that I am indeed a representative of Gallaudet - "One more thing — the person who imitated mcconnell has a point — this guy claimed to represent the deaf community — but is he on any organizations of the deaf? no. is he doing something about it? no. then why should he represent us? "

I am a representative of Gallaudet University since I graduated from Gallaudet University in December 1991. Else if he says that I'm not, then it proves more to the point that he's a hypocrite on trying to pass himself off as a believer on "unity" and "Deafhood". I have contributed in more ways than one.

Here's another irony and hypocrisy on respecting our basic needs and rights for all deaf, hard of hearing and Deaf people. Guess which ones he left out on those he hold respect to?

Ridor (December 8, 2004) - "So it is my duty to make sure that the cell phones or using the voice in a "deaf-dominated places" are discouraged. Period. .... No cell phones or using the voice -- use ASL at ALL TIMES."

So much for respect and the rights of hard of hearing and deaf people who prefer to use their voices to speak on the campus of Gallaudet University, which is in fact a "deaf dominate place", or even the right to use their cell phones to talk rather than to text anywhere on campus. Even in the cafeteria where so many of them use their Sidekicks and Blackberry to text to their friends and families and to their bosses. Deaf militancy still rears its ugly head even to this day.

Here's Ridor again trashing Matt Hamill, a Deaf mixed martial artist (MMA), who have gained noteriety and respect among the deaf, Deaf, and hard of hearing community in his quest for the UFC Octagon ring on the The Ultimate Fighter 3 reality show. Matt easily won his third official MMA fight against Jesse Forbes near the end of Round 1 which was shown on LIVE tv last night. Ridor wished that Matt would become brain damaged from his fights a few months ago when Matt Hamill exploded onto the scene into the Deaf and deaf communities' consciousness.

Ridor on Matt Hamill (April 6, 2006) - "And I am so hopeful that he’ll be brain-damaged by then."

Plus his continual lies seen here regarding the MMA and how I informed one person about my recent blogging on Matt Hamill that led her to Ridor's "brain dead" comment on his blogsite.

In other areas I have asked Ridor repeatedly to provide proofs for the sake of his readers the links where I have been constantly copying and pasting his ideas into my blogsite. Twice (see here recently and last year) I have provided a list of my blog topics for him so he can easily find which topics where he claimed that I have copied (the contents) or "stole" his ideas on a consistent basis from his website. Again, he refused to even lift a finger. Which proves that I am correct about his false accusations. In fact, in all of my 835 blog posts a little over 1% of my topics or contents were surficially related to Ridor's blog content to one degree or another with a few exceptions.

Moreover, I have never called him names even though he calls me "Mcweenie" and "McCock" more times than I care to say, and yet I have always addressed him as "R" or "Ridor". Or rarely, Ricky Taylor.

Another false claim of his is that I said that all gays bareback. Yet he failed again to provide the source(s) on where I said that, unfortunately. This goes against common sense by making gross generalities that all gays do this than anymore than all deaf or hard of hearing people only signs.

There's more but I will stop here and I hope that the Deaf community will have a chance to read my blog and come to the same conclusion that Ridor has placed his own interest above the Deaf community's who are trying so hard to come to grips on their own on how to best unite deaf, Deaf and hard of hearing people regardless of how they were raised or their preferred mode of communication. If it's division that's occuring, then count Ridor to be among those people who are doing it. I find it to be my duty to point out the hypocrisy of Ridor's to the Deaf community. He is certainly in the Deaf community's camp since most of them have supported him in almost every aspects of his blog reporting and his antics.

The Deaf community need to decide on how best to approach Ridor regarding his hypocrisy and how antics are going against the Deaf community's goals and efforts to try and better unify deaf, Deaf and hard of hearing people. Ridor is a high profile Deaf person that many or most Deaf people have heard of. Yet, many of them continue to look the other way and take his words for it.

To the people of the Deaf community, the ball is in your park on how to handle Ridor.

As for you Ridor, the ball is in your court as well. Either you continue to wear that mask of hypocrisy or remove it. So far at every turn you have pretended that you support deaf and hard of hearing people for their choices on how they communicate. Yet, what I have shown so far says otherwise. You can either deny all you want and continue to call me names and not provide a single shred of proof or you can turn this around and become more honest and forthright person that the Deaf community can be proud of. Your choice. Your move.

I wish everybody in the Deaf community a sincere good luck with this "unity" approach and I sincerely hope you can prove me wrong while you plan your efforts at the upcoming NAD convention next week. With Ridor in the picture, I somehow doubt that this can work if you continue to support his negative actions. Too much history on Deaf elitism and too much hate against those who don't conform to Deaf ideals . Even though I have practiced what I have preached on respecting and accepting every deaf, Deaf, and hard of hearing people regardless of their preferred mode of communication, how they were raised and their choices to use their hearing aids, cochlear impalnts or none at all. It makes no difference to me. But to some Deaf people, it makes all the difference.

Good luck to those who will attend the NAD conference. I am hoping that it will turn out to be a very peaceful and very respectful event.

We'll see.

UPDATE: Ridor is now attempting to "prove" that the email he received from Dale by posting his email at his blogsite. From Ridor:

———- Forwarded message ———-
Date: Jun 23, 2006 5:52 PM
Subject: news
To: news4ridor@gmail.com
You f-----g morron, I hope you die! (with AIDS)
Dale Patterson

Dale R. Patterson makes this response:

Rick, I'm sure my lawyer will thank you for making his job so easy!
First of all, I have never, will never wish AIDS on anyone.
Second of all, I haven't dropped the F-bomb in this century.
Third, I can spell 'M-O-R-O-N', you idiot.
Fourth and finally, I always sign my name 'Dale R. Patterson'. And I do
always sign my name to what I write - I never take anonymous jabs.

So, the only real question is are you a lying sack of crap who made this up to justify an attack on me and my family, or are you an idiot who fell for a fake email?

Either way, making it up, or repeating it without verification, you're still guilty of Libel.

Twice.

Email of that nature is not proof that the real Dale R. Patterson did this. It's pretty amazing how anyone can be so naive when it comes to fake emails. The real detective work starts with by keeping quiet and investigate the matter internally by doing an email trace. But, noooooooo, Ridor took the email at face value when it was signed with Dale's name. And blabbed it to every proof it came from Dale. Nice set of logic follow through here.

Not.

Ridor, go and learn about how to trace emails and save yourself the embarrassment, and any potential legal bills in the near future. Remove the offensive accusation about Dale from your blogsite. The dorky fake email that doesn't prove anything. And be ready to apologize publicly once you've learn the error of your ways. Else you have the option of continuing to be the moron you are.

UPDATE II
It's been almost 6 years and the dude can't even get his own story straight how he outright made a bald-faced lie about what he said/wrote by denying that he said that he hoped that Dale Patterson would trip and fall on his infant son killing him as seen in Facebook on April 22, 2012.

Proof that Ridor lied in Facebook can be found in his own blog.  Wait a few seconds longer to get past the "error page" and it will soon load up.

UPDATE III: He's a known cyberbully/internet bully. He actually publicly signed a pact on not to ever be involved in cyberbullying such as the Deaf Hope pact with over 200 signatures.

From this day forward I publicly commit myself to end all violence. Additionally I shall strive to contribute to a safe and supportive cyberspace. I shall neither participate in, encourage, nor endorse any form of cyberbullying.  

In the spirit of femtorship and mentorship and in the spirit of comm-unity, I promise to respect, honor and learn from myself as well as others.  

Sign the Pact  

Signed by on September 27, 2008:

It's unfortunate that Deaf Hope took down the "The Pact" link.  It's unfortunate that Ridor continues to bully people online in various forms and fashion.
