Of course it is okay if you state what you see. Why are you being so defensive? I was simply stating that the anger, expecially the most recent example, is not coming from anything being done by the deaf community...at least not in this case, as the poster already stated that she had a supportive experience in the deaf community. That would suggest another source for the anger and frustration, and it is more likely than not coming from within rather than from anything outside. The purpose of the thread is to get people to the point where they are able to accept responsibility for their own actions and reactions, and not to blame them on others.
