I remember I went to mainstream school and cornell university, I had ex dating and several hearing friends who don't sign. Sometime I know I can lipread but did not practice lot or little a bit hear when conservation. When I had good friends with them, I can talk to them when they don't sign language. As possibility, hearing students may sign to me or third party on campus for some reasons unlike gallaudet, lots of hearing students may option is use sign language if deaf people want to see them but for me, I could see them lipreads at mainstream. I do not have usually to use lipread when I was at residental school and gallaudet university because I communicated with friends who are deaf through sign language. Often, when I was not at school or off campus, I do have lipread to friends if they don't sign. I feel I realize how I had experienced at mainstream whose offers education for people who prepared for college but communication, I do have to talk or write most times when work together or meetings. I never really ask friends to sign if I can't talk because I do not have to do this, I was supposed to know why I went to mainstream for getting advanced education if this school can convinced ivy school offer me but accepted from several colleges. But advisor told me if I want head to cornell or brown after hs, I wonder if I will have to talk when social with people all the time, I have no choice then head to csun where lots of hearing students know signing then realize csun is not for me then head to cornell but hs friends already behind from me included situation with former roommate then came to gallaudet...I find that communication at gallaudet is majority of sign language on campus but sometime there can be optional is talking to friends while others saw them whose don't sign is same as my experience at school and cornell. In this moment, when friends and I are signed each other can be necessary if needed while other hearing students did not get it then others had repeat talking at cornell. I learned lot about communication and socializing but both are seperated ways. If deaf wants socialize, come to gallaudet and find most common in sign language u can communicate. Sometime you may have hard time to find common interests or match partner but only way you want to social. If deaf wants socialize with hearing, can go to any college and you will know you can find common interests or match partner but not worry about communication if you know your friends don't sign then you may talk or write either, only you know this person had same personality or mutual interests. I was just disappointed because I was supposed to talk by lipread when social with people at campus but expected to use sign with friends every day. I am really forget what I can say through lipread when conservation with friends who don't sign, I am really friendly and polite for a while. As same as my ex dating don't sign, we are seem fine...one csun guy engaged to penn girl who is hearing and other one csdf girl had columbia boyfriend who is hearing, they are happily together, they told me they found their interests and heart...it doesn't matter who they are, but ironic way, communication is important for reltionship, it mens verbal and nonverbal behavior...it is not about talking. Now, I had seen several friends who is at gallaudet, they seem not surprise why is about sign language, they looked for education and major then transfer to hearing university to find right major or else. Later, former or alumni of gallaudet is finally to married hearing couple who don't sign or do sign, they told me they found their heart and interests. It never worked out if you want to find someone who is sign that was my experience. Like one of AD member mentioned about love at first sight may be true like two see each other with smile but they won't know if they sign or had anything until last. it doesn't matter if deaf people or me went to ivy league school, had friends who don't sign or had relationship, what is more important for you at school? You can get degree to get a good job. I knew my good friends don't sign but already had mutual interests, ever my ex girlfriends don't sign, it doesn't bother to know if she still sign...if I do not really want someone don't sign then why I have go to ivy school, the answer is same....in addition, I was sad because my friends are getting married whose deaf and hearing are from texas, one is from gallaudet and other is from texas a&m, others like deaf married hearing wife from ivy league...I realize they told me about heart is important for your partner what I learned.
 
OMG. Why don't these trolling threads about ivy league stop??? The others are right. Your English is too inconsistent in all these threads - you aren't who you say you are. Enough is enough. Please stop already.

I am led to believe he has some mental condition that causes him to have 'posting breakouts', kind of like a nervous breakdown where it causes him to post a bunch of redundant and similar threads again. Sometimes I see that he forgets to capitalize i's, or messes up with the sentence structure.. and the topic at hand - kind of makes me think he needs his fix for something. So he comes on here to post about it and as long as he gets replies, it refreshes him in some form.

This is my overall impression, after meeting him in person before at LV.

Really not a troll. He has a problem.
 
OCD.

We have a guy in the office that has a major social disease, it was left untreated for 31 years. Very brilliant when it comes to computers, programming, fixing things, but totally lacking in social skills. Does not think there is anything wrong with him, but there is something wrong with everybody else.

He is obsessed with a few things, cannot stop discussing those specific things, and no matter what we say, we can't get through to him. Only medical professionals might be able to help, but, it is hard to help someone who does not want to be helped.
 
Good point about Naisho having already met him - I forgot that part. I was thinking this was some guy coming here to have fun at our expense and that nothing he was saying was true about himself. Anyway, my point about the English is that some of his posts are not well written, English-wise (not trying to be offensive here, but others have said the same) and then other posts the English is actually decently good. I was not the only one noticing the inconsistency in his writings. Hence why I said what I said.
