Yeah, and you claim a lot of things that cannot be supported. Same old, same old.

There is a difference between having different perspectives, beliefs, goals, and telling a straight out lie. You are claiming that parents with implanted children who participate on this board contact each other through ci circle to "rally around" when they need support. This is a claim that you have NOTHING to back up. I am telling you, as a parent on ci circle, one that is privy to every message sent on the list-serve (which, again, you are not) that this has never happened.

Yes, there is a difference. Shame you don't recognize it when you are guilty of it.

I am not the only person here who sees the obvious progression of events that takes place frequently.

Now, back on topic.

It is just as likely that individual posters who have interest get email on their interests.

Few people are so low tech to need to be personally informed.

I don't even think it is to support another parent so much as they are truly outraged and angry on their own behalf.

You are claiming that I, rick, drews dad, or Grendel contact one another through CI Circle. That is not true. It has never happen. I am being perfectly clear so that people who are open minded, and actually care about the truth will understand. You made up your mind a long time ago, and rather than listen to, or have an open, honest discussion, you choose to attack, imply and roll your eyes.

Funny that there are a predictable few that always show up under the same circumstances, at the same time.

I never suggested that they were individually notifying each other. I believe I said, "The word has gone out.":P

I know. And I tried to explain to you how it works.

I just don't like the implication that we are in some "club" together and that we send up a "bat signal" when we get in trouble. It isn't true, and I have stated that. Parents of implanted kids are not homogenous, we have different opinions and feelings about different deaf issues. We each chose the implant for OUR child, not for everyone, and each for different reasons. We chose different therapies, schools, and language approaches. We are individuals.

First off, I never mentioned any names at all. The fact that you have referred to specific people is very interesting, especially since there are 2 you have included that never crossed my mind.:cool2:

Now back on topic. You are protesting entirely too much. It makes you appear defensive.

There are only 4 parents on here that are a part of CI Circle.

Frankly, I have no idea how many there are, nor am I particularly interested in the number. You, however, seem to attach great importance to it.

Now, can you please get back on topic. You are defeating your own purpose.

Right, you don't know, because you are not a member of ci circle. I am. I am upset because you are trying to disparage an entire group of people, most of whom you have never spoken to, and I value ci circle as a resource for myself and other parents. Why do you make broad, blanket statements about people you don't know? It isn't the first time you have said things about ci circle, a group with whom you have no experience at all.

You are blowing things out of proportion and taking things personally that were not intended as such. Par for the course. Blanket statements are just that. Comprehesive. They are not directed at any particular individual. You, however, have a pathological need to make everything about you. And that is not a blanket statement.

Now, can you drop the defensiveness and get back to the topic?
 
They don't post on other threads either. No socializing or chatting.
 
Would be kind of cool if there were a chat function on here. Or if we could private message. I'd really like to network with other parents or CI users, or anybody else on here for that matter. The lack of chat/PM really holds a person back from the socializing. What is CI circle?

I wonder how other kids react at activation. I would think it would scare them. This boy seems to be lovin' it.

The boy used to be hearing. He is used to hearing noises.

Their other video mentioned that he did not react the same way as his first one.
