Very true, that's why I said "rejected". However, it is hard to distinguish between someone who is against CI and someone who is against CI AND would alienate the child with a CI, especially online. If I was a parent and decide to do a CI on my child, it would only take a few comments (especially if unprovoked) about how a CI on a child is barbaric, etc, to make me worry about my child being in that environment.
Consider the following responses (Just using CI as an example for an issue):
"Hi. My name is Jane. I am a mother of a 2 year old child. I would like to find out more information about what you think of a CI"
"I think implanting a child is wrong in my opinion."
vs
"Hi Jane here. I'm a mother of a 2 year old who was born profoundly deaf. I just implanted my child."
"I think implanting a child is wrong in my opinion."
Same answer, but different emotion provoked.
