I did not vote, as I am not sure about this one, but it's an interesting idea. It was more annoying before, some years ago, when the top elite of audists, tried hard to convince deaf people that sign language and the deaf culture is at best, worthless.
I may offend some people here, but I seriously believe that in order to have truly heated discussions, one need hearing people. It's they who starts the bickering and insulting, wether they are pro ASL or pro speech. Deaf people tends to be much more balanced, because they have something that hearing people don't have, lived experiences and the skill to handle deafness. It takes away a lot of the edges, IMHO.
We got some "free thinkers", who keep on asking "controversial" questions, while to us, it looks more like they are seeking acceptance for their audists view among the deaf population, begging us to ditch our lived experiences. That's the tiring part to me, but not sure if we solve this by banning.
An advantage of allowing audism on alldeaf, is that we now have tons of text written by audists in older threads, forever burned into the caches of Google. I think this is part of reason why the worst audists are gone, because the more they stay here, the more documents and better understanding of audism everyone get.
Take AG Bell, I think they shun Audism Free America, because they know their ideology is too fragile to stand an open discussion with AFA.
