I thought language wasn't an issue:


As I posted before, if you accept the Anna Mindess denfiition:


Deaf culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


According to Anna Mindess, "it is not the extent of hearing loss that  defines a member of the Deaf community but the individual's own sense of  identity and resultant actions."[5]  As with all social groups that a person chooses to belong to, a person  is a member of the Deaf community if he or she "identifies him/herself  as a member of the Deaf community, and other members accept that person  as a part of the community."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture#cite_note-bakpad1978-6


Is this, in fact, the truth or not?


Personally, I don't think the woman behind web site is part of the Deaf Community. I agree with the other members it's a scam. 


But, you can't have it both ways, either the Deaf Community has a solid understanding of what it is to be a member or it does not. Right?
