I wouldn't call those bloggers extremists.
They want a Deaf-centric site, meaning no CI blogs. No oralist deaf blogs and so on. However the owner of DeafRead maintained that as long they're not outright attacking anyone in a vulgar manner, DeafRead will remain an uncensored, generalist aggregator. I am inclined to side with the owner. Yeah, we're an oppressed group, but that doesn't give us the rights to oppress other people.
The thing is that a few people want to add "audism" to the R-list which would essentially restrict the type of entries that oralists and CI bloggers can submit. However no one can agree on what "audism" means since none of the entries are "audists" according to the original definition in 197-something.
I am not too sure what's happening with DTV though.... I don't post on it, so I wouldn't know.
