Wow. Some of you guys are unbelievable.
It's not plagiarism or copyright infringement when you're disputing an argument with your own writing and ideas. Besides, it's not like he personally identified all of you and attacked you without provocation. Also, he's labeled each paragraph an obvious quote - meaning it's from another source. Stop taking things so personally. On the internet, you are NOT required to have someone's permission in order to dispute their point of view with your own. Now, if he was copying all of the posts from this forum and passing them off as his OWN as a single blog post without any input, then THAT would be a different story.
I think a number of people on this board need to take a chill pill and let people disagree with them. The CI is not the be-all end-all of hearing restoration and some people need to get off their high horse and realize that. Yes, it helps people significantly- I'm a fan of CI as a result of what I've seen it be able to do for a number of people who have nearly no access to normal communication. However, there are other opinions which are valid. Are you going to take the next step and burn whatever opinion is not in line with your own?
The idea is simple- if you're so over sensitive that you don't want people to dispute your ideas (even if they take the wrong approach or even if you believe they're wrong) and can't stand the idea of that happening, then don't post your ideas to a public forum. Otherwise, you shouldn't be such a coward and instead, dispute their opinions with your own.
