1) Nope, I wasn't in any way, shape, or form offended by anything that you said. Your points are all valid.
2) Yes, I know:
-- It's obvious that I was hearing. It's more obvious that I continue to live
in a hearing world.
-- ASL was probably created by a deaf community as were other languages in other countries created by deaf.
I'm not knocking ASL. Remember, I said when I started taking my current ASL class that I chose to learn the ASL structure rather than continue on my merry non-ASL way. I made a tougher choice that I feel is right for me now. I feel this will give me greater flexibility in reaching out to the local deaf community. I hope I'll learn it well enough to be able to be certified in ASL. I just also see a major purpose to SEE being alive and well.
