Don't worry, Mrs. Bucket. Part of the symptomatology of drphil's syndrome is a lack of a sense of humor.

drphil · 02-14-2011, 08:37 AM

Really- is various comments in Alldeaf.com just an exercise in humour? Which segment in "symptomatology of drphil's syndrome" is there a lack of humour"? Being deaf?
Is MCB's comment in the "wildest category of say: crackpotism"? Is that an exercise Humour?

Whoa! Time out, drphil.. I was actually trying my best to interject some humour into this thread.

I am sorry if you feel slighted in some way, shape or form.

I think it is best I don't bother replying to you if you're going to take my current humourous posts seriously.

Really.. peace out.

Good morning. Professor Sky is a good and faithful cat to watch the home!

My dogs chew Dingo bones. I didn't know that was horse hide! I was imagining it was leftover from cows.

Mrs. Bucket, drphil will get used to your humor. Please don't stop replying. His humor is like mine, and I understand you.

The bolded says it all about your attitude, your bitterness, and your reaction to deafness. Every post you make confirms what we are all saying: You are bitter and angry, and have yet to understand the cultural aspects of deafness. Your effort is being spent on being as hearing as you possibly can be.

No, I lost my position for multiple discriminatory reasons on their part, including hearing loss.

It's a low way to fight and unethical to diagnose people on the internet, and then make laughing deprecatory comments on what behavior a syndrome you perceive a person to have might cause.

MCB · 02-14-2011, 02:36 PM

I did not place a diagnosis on him. I just suggested that his lack of a sense of humor indicates part of a set of symptoms. And I do not think that your problem with understanding subtle humor has the same cause as his. I am sorry that you inferred that.

Similarly, my observation that lack of non-verbals or non-verbals that do not match lips indicates a lack of honesty, does not cover all situations. My own son has Asperger's. I find it very hard to communicate with him at times. I ask what? He responds with the same words and quiet voice. I have known him all his life, and know what speech problems he has overcome, and I am proud.

I absolutely agree. This persistent bullying and hounding is now being compounded by amateur and wildly offensive and irresponsible pseudo-analysis that's more telling about the source than the subject.

drphil · 02-14-2011, 10:55 PM

GredelQ- wise observations. Especially concerning the activity of Dr Phil on TV with follow up with appropriate professionals- with the pseudo analysis WITHOUT ME REQUESTING any such encounter. Presumably unethical professional behaviour? Need real humour to absorb the sheer hypocrisy!

Jillio: does being born with hearing a major problem for you? I am not prelingual deaf just post bilaterally deaf.

Mrs Bucket: peace again!

Why in the world would you ask such an absurd question? Oh, yeah! That's right! You don't have any knowledge whatsoever concerning culture and sociological concerns, not to mention the psychological results of such.

Nor do you have any idea of ethics. No one has placed a diagnosis on you. More than one has, however, made observations regarding the pattern and nature of your posting. Valid observations at that. You requested that when you began posting on a public forum. Don't want people making observations? Don't post. Very simple.

Mrs Bucket · 02-15-2011, 12:38 PM

jillio, placing drphil on the ignore list helps.

You know sometimes when you try so hard to train an old dog new tricks, it just won't work. The same concept applies to drphil, it won't work for several reasons. He's very closed-minded and still stuck in the hearing world.

Sadly, he reminds me of my Gpa. Growing up Gpa always said he was too old to learn ASL. We tried teaching him the ABC's and he'd say "I'm too old!!", my younger cousins arrived and he said the very same old excuse "I'm too old!!", well.. at his deathbed he admitted his biggest regret. He wished he had learned ASL with his own children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

That's the attitude I get from drphil, his excuse is he's too old to learn ASL, too old to be immersed in Deaf Culture when it's only him and his attitude that's stopping him from progressing socially, educationally, emotionally and so on.

I offered to meet him and he refused stating he would never meet "weirdos/freaks" in real life which is ironic because he subscribes to a forum that has categories such as weirdos, freaks and so on.

I really do wish drphil well and placing him on ignore helps as the new ignore feature blocks his replies too as well.

Laissez faire, drphil. ("Live and let live") Instead of dictating to all of us how to live our lives, try living your own for once.

dogmom · 02-15-2011, 05:05 PM

Mrs. Bucket, from my perspective, an opportunity to meet and discuss with you would be fun and enlightening. It was very kind of you to offer.

As I bet you've encountered too, Jillio, sometimes people in general are so steeped in their own selves or their own part of the world that they can't even see out. They have their own story and can't or don't want to know anyone else's. Their story is very comforting to them.
For me, I think it is important to know the stories of many people so that I can learn from them.

The majority of members here do not believe anything you say. You do not believe in ASL and do not see the purpose of using it. You won't bother using the language and I wonder why you are here when you do not believe in Deaf Culture itself.

I offered to meet with you and you, yourself, told me you would not meet "weirdos, freaks" off the internet.

Toronto is far from a small or quaint town, its a major metropolitian city where a LOT of Deaf and DeafBlind people live in. How you manage to bypass so many Deaf people when they converse in ASL on the TTC or the streets of Toronto, you must wonder what they are talking about.

I do not believe anything you say because I read between your sentences, you come here because you are lonely, trapped between two worlds. I actually pity you because when a person persistently states they are "Off to the real world", it is actually a fictionalized part of their mind.

I wish you well in body, mind and spirit.. really I do.

If there was an opportunity to meet you and the other, I would do it in a beat! I would love to get together with you in person!

Same for the others whom I respect.

I would never tell anyone else not to get it for themselves, whoever, they should still learn ASL or BSL or whatever their sign language is for their area.

Been bilaterally deaf since birth...it doesnt bother me.

AlleyCat · 02-15-2011, 08:19 PM

It's a shame. I used to visit Toronto frequently (I am from MN) but I have friends/classmates from there. But I haven't been up there in about 4 years now. If I do get up there again, would love to meet Mrs. Bucket !

drphil · 02-15-2011, 11:12 PM

Glad you like Toronto AlleyCat. There seems to be few people here as well.

Mrs Bucket: at no time have I ever said my "middle age" was the reason for not continuing to learn Introductory ASL way back in 1996/97.
To the best of knowledge WIChat is completely separate from alldeaf.com. I understand does attract a variety persons you claim to be weirdos etc. Hardly a label I applied to you. Why would I? Too bad you don't follow your own advice.

MCB all ready live in the "larger world" now.

You know, you have given me some very sound advise. I have not placed him on ignore yet because I have faith in an individual's ability to change throughout the lifespan. You have just reminded me however, that just because an individual has the ability to change doesn't mean that they have the courage to do so. Thank you for reminding me of that.

You area absolutely correct. So many times, it involves showing others that they are not alone as they believe they are, nor are they unique. There are many others who encounter the same things on a daily basis. Normally, this is an empowering experience for the individual, and they are grateful to finally learn that they are not alone. For some, however, it is a threatening experience, because they have become convinced, for whatever reason, that they are unique and special. I could go into some of the reasons for this misperception, and the need to hang onto it, but it would take more room than the forum has.

You have the correct attitude regarding the stories of others, and it shows not just in your statement, but in the growth I have seen in you over time.

AlleyCat: apparently Mrs Bucket used to live in least York- a former section of old Metro Toronto. It has merged into the City Of Toronto a few years ago.
Good luck in finding her.

Wouldn't need much of luck finding her. Even I can send her a message and I'm pretty confident that I will be able to meet up with her without issues.
