I took some time off from blogging to do a little something I like to call Having a Life.  After a while, my good buddy told me that there were all sorts of interesting things (to say the least) happening over at DeafRead and urged me to catch up.  So I did . . . and now I'm debating whether to thank my aforementioned good buddy for alerting me to the nonsense that's going on within the HTML-generated pages of the DeafRead website.

There is no polite way to say this:  everyone who's involved in the fracas is a bloomin' idiot.  The past few weeks have severely eroded Deaf Power to such a degree that who knows how long it'll take to heal the damage? 

Is this what our ancestors fought for?  Is this why they put up with centuries of abuse and persecution?  Just so a couple of rabblerousers can get everyone in a snit over some silly blogs and vlogs?

If that is true, then the Deaf Community doesn't DESERVE to have any kind of power.  If you cannot rise above the pettiness that is bound to come along every now and then, then you have not proven a damn thing except that you have not evolved enough to be able to handle any type of power.

Remember Spider-Man?  "With great power comes great responsibility."  I've seen more maturity and better judgment from preschoolers fighting over a toy.

Disgusting.  Truly, truly disgusting.

If you want to go anywhere and be worth anything, it's time to GROW UP.
