You are not wrong. It is the process of developing an identity that includes deafness, rathet than placing it in the position of being an external factor to your identity.

Ok..

The ones that gets a CI... How would you describe their journey?

Or ones that wears their hearing aid daily and speaks daily?

Deafhood, if they see deafness as a part of their personal identity.

It is up to her/his choice to enter the Deafhood journey or another journey. So far I have known for a fact that some CI people have already been in Deafhood journey.

The only deaf militant on AD that I can think of is a poster whose nickname is Sourmind. Dr.Phil, you don't want to meet Sourmind. lol :P

If Ridor and Koko ever met and clashed on AD, I'm certain fur will fly. :Ohno:

Oh they have been quite opposite since I knew them personally from the Gally days...

Remember the old VAX WHATSUPX NOTES days? ;)

When you were in NSP, you along with a few NSP students came to me at the Benson Hall Computer Lab where I worked as PC Consultant, for help.

Although we did not hang around often, I happened to know who you were enough well. :)

LOL I sure missed the VAX moment. I was up all night and agreed on meeting each other for the first time at cafe in the early morning. Sad that I didnt remember those people or names except two. I remember you did work there. I hated going in the benson hall computer lab. lol

In addition, I knew your wife better than you. My friends and I sometimes hung around with her before you got her. :)

clarify once more for us - what are you geared toward to? and what is your political ideology (in terms of deaf subject)?

He has stated them in here. But some seem to operate on a "if one doesn't embrace Deafhood it automatically constitutes an audistic ideology" and it doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

Right on.

At one time I caught one football player having an opened Hustler magazine while typing out a XXX-rated story in the computer lab. When caught, his angry face with wide eyes directed at me and I told him to go up to the bathroom to get over it.

More interestingly, it turned out that his article was published on one of porn websites much later. :eek3: How did I know? My friend sent me a link after he noticed "Deaf" "Benson Hall" and a few things which were common with Gally". I screamed at him, "I know who wrote it! Ha ha ha that pervert!"

I understand you're trying to "fit in" and cause of that you're obviously overcompensating in here and all that. Not that there's anything wrong with it. But if it's so good to be Deaf, then what took you so long to embrace it? It took you what 40 years or something? You even had a chance 20 years ago but decided to walk away from it. Just saying it constructively.

awesome!! do i know this player? lol
 
Hohtopics: if you had read my other posts on AD, then you would know why.

I am getting to know people here and sharing my own experiences. If I truly wanted to fit in, I would be agreeing with everyone and I don't. Heck, I even agreed with Kokonut on one post he made. I have a mind of my own and have no problem using it.
