I hate to say this, but to the best of our knowledge, Sxyporkie may be deceased.
She had terminal cancer when she last posted here. Those who have her real name have been unable to get a response. I think the mods tried too.
thats awful, well hope you're wrong, but in case she did passsed away, whats so awful *we* didnt know or some of us *cared about it* lke, okay she was a bit of a raver, but her passion for what she valued in Deaf ways was still admirable and real. It's sad, that some of us *likes* to scoff or sneer at *wannabes* i mean surely, really we are all fighting a losing battle against the hearings, and that's real hard, its not "people" per see, its politics, the politics of 'health" or politics of cultures, or politics of keeping the deaf minds to be Deaf minds...its just awful that, some of us fails to realise others , even though may be a little odd, or mis-directed (OR some of us ARE!?)...we've no rights to belittle others...apart from audists, which is different, their passion is to savour the hearing way ekk, but dont mind learning and appreciating what we can learn from hearing people, but just dont change us!!
that's all i have to say here
and if its real real that sxyporkie has gone, then Godspeed to her, she liked me (thats because I refused to join in others to poke fun at her, as i realised sometimes people on the internet are lonely and need to have conversations and sometimes it goes wrong...i took that into account and just saw 'whet she meant about things, she wasnt a dill) and that i was paitent with her, and have came to see she's not as silly as some might have thought, afterall she was Deaf like all of us here!
ps. if this post is seen then was reveal later the rumour was false, well i still stand by my words, we're never need to be deafer than thou, or hearier than thou, if we all share the beliefs that we ARE a Deaf community real or cyber or half and half, then, that's should be a food for thoughts message, be nice to each other...as you'd never know when your number's up or what.
Cheers
