Let's see if I can help eh...
Below is my assumed adapted posting of the first posting to clarify (make it more clear what the writer is trying to tell us.)
Let me know if that's what supposed to say or whatever.. eh
===========================
CI "WAR" is over and Peace is Declared!
Hi folks
Been away a while computer issues etc...
Here in the old U of K (United Kingdom) we're pretty much in agreement that the anti-CI campaigns by (D)eaf are over .
Signs of desperation came via a UK (D)eaf program where in desperation to incite interests, they claimed that the (D)eaf ant-CI campaign ranked alongside Martin Luther King's (Despite the fact that CI are widely used now, and it's users are accepted here), which was felt that even for the deaf activist was one claim too far.
Is it time for USA to join with the rest of the World and stop these Anti-CI and Anti-hearing aid things?
America is hardly showing as a place where choice is widely accepted, and isn't inclusion is considered a norm?
The world has moved on (At least for most !), (D)eaf should concentrate on things that are relative to them, since enforced implantation was never an option in the first place.
Frankly, some of the responses I've read here show quite a low awareness of what CI's actually do and don't. I read one deafie stating he wouldn't have one because he was afraid rain would 'leak' through the 'hole'
Implantation will not affect the deaf way in any foreseeable way, was it all sour grapes and based on the belief that deaf would 'hear' and thus sign and deaf culture would die? That didn't work that way, did it?
How long before anti-CI people all over the world accept that it was a campaign that they never had any real chance of successes?
==================
Not sure if the writer wanted this word "illicit" in 3rd paragraph? does the writer tries to mean "gather" interests instead of "ban" interests? I am thinking the writer wants to say "incite" instead ?

THE RIGHT WORDarouse, exhort, foment, incite, instigate, provoke
The best way to start a riot is to incite one, which means to urge or stimulate to action, either in a favorable or an unfavorable sense.
If you instigate an action, however, it implies that you are responsible for initiating it and that the purpose is probably a negative or evil one
the man who instigated the assassination plot).
Foment suggests agitation or incitement over an extended period of time
foment a discussion; foment the rebellion that leads to war). An instigator, in other words, is someone who initiates the idea, while a fomenter is someone who keeps it alive.
You can provoke a riot in the same way that you instigate one, but the emphasis here is on spontaneity rather than on conscious design
her statement provoked an outcry from animal rights activists).
To arouse is to awaken a feeling or elicit a response
my presence in the junkyard aroused suspicion), or to open people's eyes to a situation ( | we attempted to arouse public awareness).
But once you've aroused people, you may have to exhort them, meaning to urge or persuade them, by appealing to their sympathy or conscience, to take constructive action.
