I also feel this forum is for deaf/Deaf or hoh members and not for those who merely want to be deaf, no matter what their reasons for desiring this may be.
What is wrong with them joining or starting their own website to share their own experiences. Ok there may be some crossover if a person is genuinely deaf/hoh but if not then they dont belong here and I am sure many alldeaf members will not feel comfortable sharing their feelings knowing that some readers/posters are just feeding off others experiences.
