The fact that we are blinded by our need to be the "best" and the most "acceptable" of the deviants does not justify the treatment of others as lesser beings.
So, to the people who joined just to push BIID: Good on you. You're paving the way to your own (and others) respect as human beings, in much the same way others did for us "normal" deaf people.
