I'd be perfectly happy to give you a rundown of my formal education in linguistics if you'd prefer?
Oh hey, how come you never moved out of the country?
That's ok but do you have a professional background in linguistics?
oh shit no, DD!!! no!!! not the shock therapy! please not there!
I couldn't move out of the state.
But now, I'm moving to a different state. Gotta do this for now.

Look what you did! You caused drama! Bad girl!
Some people think ASL is better than oralism, some people think Texas is the best state in the US , some people think Italians are the best lovers. In such cases, there is no absolutism or determining who's right or wrong. It's a matter of opinion, we're all entitled to one.
Would people be alright with people coming in and saying that all deaf children should be implanted and learn to listen and speak (without lipreading of course) because it is the only way they will be successful in life? Of course not. They would be labeled as an audist, Nazi, and very quickly, banned. So why is OK for people to insist that ASL is the only appropriate option for deaf kids? Isn't it exactly the same?
