Ridor9th, theHolism, Audism, and Tayler Mayer
Deafherbalist's World I wanted to share something that may help you understand where I am coming from.

How to Destroy the Deaf Community?
Deafherbalist's World This is based on my observations from experience. How to destroy the Deaf community? 1. Divide the group (Deaf vs. deaf) 2. Disagree about everything 3. Attack the person and not the issue itself 4. Call the Deaf person names, “You are dumb!” and etc. 5. Do not respect their beliefs. 6. Tell rumors, lies and gossip about the Deaf person 7. Get [...]

Deaf Bilingual Coalition, DeafHood, AFA, etc. came from people who were involved with DeafRead and DeafVideo.TV. I think people need to stop and think for a [...]

Are you a “Free Thinker?”
Deafherbalist's World I noticed a pattern in various deaf related vlogs/blogs of people attacking the person and not the issue. Why would someone do that? If you disagree with someone's message then attack the message itself and not the messenger. It has been going on so long and people are accustomed to attacking the person first before [...]

Strange about using the IP Relay Service
Deafherbalist's World I am a little puzzled because when I used the IP relay (text) and noticed that it takes so long to connect with other callers. For example, calling the dentist and it takes forever to get a reply. After a few more calls and the results were the same. I asked my hearing son to place [...]
