This is precisely the problem that is going on.  Why are people, especially the deaf, insisting on "certification?" It tells the hearing world, "Okay, look, please...have pity on me, I have a hearing loss and I want you to like me and  I'll be nice and do things your way." If this be the case, "Hearies" win, deaf lose. I've been there...letting hearies dictate...now I play hardball and love the rules...let me into the courtroom with the attorneys of my choice and they will be begging for mercy. The documents for the ADA need to stand on their own, exactly as they are stated and written, without some deaf people kissing off our rights, settling for what they want or settling out of court. Damn it, Richard, bring those bastards to their knees begging mercy from the deaf/hoh, it's time we did it!
