Heck, Rick got banned because he couldn't resist urging insults and attack people even though he was already warned. Some people are just ill tempered. They have no self-control. The reason why CI users are perfectly welcome here is because they know what’s it’s like to be deaf even though our experiences differ on a large scale, but we all know what it’s like to be deaf.

If you have something to say about me, then why don't you have the intestinal fortitude to say it directly to me? I have no idea who you are and cannot recall ever discussing anything with you but yet you seem to be quite an expert on who is and who is not qualified to give advice on this forum. Have you ever raised a deaf child? Have you ever raised any chidren? Have you walked a mile in our shoes?
I have had the opportunity to meet many deaf adults during the continuing course of raising my child, and deaf adults are no different from hearing adults. There are some whose advice is sage and greatly accepted and there are others who, well let's just say their advice is not so sage. The bottomline is that parents such as Cloggy and myself know our children far better than you ever will for the one thing you seem to have forgotten in your insulting putdown of both of us is that mutual deafness pales in comparision to the bonds of love that is formed by the parent child relationship. My child is deaf but that is not all she is and if that is how you choose to define her then you have missed the essence of who she is.
You can think whatever reason you want for why I was "banned" but if you seriuosly think that "insults and attacks" are only from those who are parents of ci kids then I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I would love to sell to you.
Maybe the next time you choose to attack me, you will have the decency to do it directly to me and not bury it in some other thread.
Merry Christmas,
Rick
