Yes, in this thread. He was just following the conversation with Botts re: Mrs. Buckets being in his town and could show him around, drphil mentioned that Mrs. B. has more to do these days with the birth of her twins, plus he is busy with his own grandchildren.

Is it so terrible to go mildly off-topic once in a while, for a nice little chat?

Thank you for the Cliff's notes. But it still does not relate to the topic.

A nice little chat with whom? Mrs Bucket? She is a friend of mine and I feel sorry for those who would talk behind her back.

Exactly. It is not for someone else to announce the birth of her children. When she is ready, she will announce it here herself. Many of us have already received the announcement through other means.

Mrs Bucket has already informed Alldeaf.com the arrival of the twin girls. From my past experience-believe she and her husband are really busy these days.
Beach girl comment relate to Bottesini's comment.

Where did she make that announcement? The only announcement I have seen came from other posters discussing it. Please point me to the specific post or thread where Mrs. B made a birth announcement.

Here is a rule in both Deaf and hearing culture. Do not tell others what is not yours to tell.:cool2:

I have received a number of private messages from Mrs Bucket. "Surprised" at her graciousness.

For the near future I believe she has more pressing immediate matters on hand- her twin daughters- than an ongoing discussion re deaf/DEAF or Blind/deaf interactions in our society.

Convenient excuse for you not getting out there and associating with the Deaf. So, obviously made the choice not to be a part of. You really need to stop commenting in culture related threads.

no idea what are you talk to about personal ask no sense understand reading!
 
i dont think that is rule. i think it is custom. Depend on individual. But never deaf culture.
 
Jillio: I got the info re Mrs Bucket's twins birth-here. Where else?
Apparently announced in a secret site called Facebook. I am not a member of Facebook.

Not from Mrs. Bucket, you didn't. You said that Mrs. B had already made the announcement, and you are in error about that, just as you are about any number of things.
 
That's right. I don't think she's been here since the birth.
 
Amazing: the non announcement of the "joyous event Mrs Bucket's twin girls" generate such an uproar.I read here. No big deal-mentioned about a half dozen times.
"Ulterior motives at play"?

Sorry not a"licensed psychologist" yet to analyze "hidden motivation"-computer style at the moment.
Massive study project-underway!

Waiting for the certificate-in due course from V F University of advance studies- specialization-computer personas! Overwhelmed with "raw data" from various computer groups.

Just do as any ethical person would do and aplogize for your breach in announcing the birth of Mrs. B's twins when it was not yours to discuss.
 
Okay - drphil, I am the one who announced Mrs. B having given birth.

Jillio, I hope I did not cross a line when I did it, but I saw it on FB and just made a quick post in the "What did you Learn Today" thread. I am just thankful that I did not give any personal info out, only mentioned that she had the girls and for people to check her FB page for details.

And actually, I was the one that said "I saw the announcement on FB !!!" So, Kristina, you shouldn't feel badly at all.
 
A message from Mrs Bucket's husband, found this thread very highly disrespectful that some of you spread Mrs Bucket's private life to this if she choose not to share the announcement in this forum. She made a announcement on her facebook account, only show to her close family members and truly friends who we trust mostly. Since her facebook account set to very private and she carefully chose who is on her friends' lists. This left us no choice but to remove some of Alldeaf members from her Facebook account to protect her private life and her babies' life as well.

No, you announced and dropped it. Drphil was not sharing the information with her friends. He was using it to justify his own lack of action. Very different situations.

Right, but they still deleted the friendship on FB. Ah well - drphil just doesn't understand how to stop fueling fights, disagreements and confusion. Time for me to add him to my ignore list I think.
 
Here is a violation of a rule in Deaf culture. A hearing person coming into a Deaf cultural environment, and then attempting to define and change the existing characteristics of that environment.
