Wow, quite a leap there. Did you really read all that into my post? Took that a bit personally, didn't you? That's a very active fantasy you have going there.
I'm not the one extrapolating my direct experience to others. I described it. Cloggy described his. You are attempting to invalidate those real experiences with ... hmm, lets's see: You are extrapolating your experience as a parent of a deaf child who has faced public opinion about whether or not to implant your child. Oh, wait -- you don't have that experience, let me amend that: you are the one extrapolating something you've 'heard about' from others and insisting that's how it is for parents of deaf children. Regardless of what actual parents of deaf children describe as their experiences.
Let me be really explicit: you told a parent of a deaf child that he wouldn't know of the pressures faced by someone making decisions about whether or not to implant a deaf child. 
And you added that you -- someone who doesn't have a deaf child and has never addressed the question of whether or not to implant him or her -- can speak about the awful pressures parents of deaf children face, but parents of deaf children shouldn't do so ....
