It is not pertinent to this topic, and as such, is a derailment.

I don't recall asking a question of you. Therefore, I do not need or want a defensive and explanatory response from you. This is something that most 10 year olds understand. You evidently missed that day of social skills training.

Jillio- I do not post based on what you "need and want".
The insults are just silly. You are making yourself out to be what you accuse me of.

I would perceive it as a negative, unless an individual who identified as such demonstrated that they've turned it into a positive.

There you go. The intent of the hearing people who devised said term intended it to be a negative in order to use it to exert social control over the Deaf population. Thanks for proving that you still see things from a hearing perspective. Time to get real quiet and start learning the Deaf perspective.:cool2:

Of course you don't. You post based on your own hearing perspective, coupled with your intense need for attention, and your selfish and self centered tendencies. That is the problem.

That is not an insult. It is the communication of information that could, very well, benefit you in your quest for acceptance around here. But you no doubt see it as an insult, thus proving once again that my assessments and my predictions as related to you are spot on.

As far as making myself out to be what I accuse you of, nonsense. And the majority on this board will agree with this, as well.
 
Csign, do you identify with any minority group? I don't think that you understand the power dynamics here. It's not like someone can wake up one morning, call herself a negative name and it's all fixed. There are inequities.

No she obviously doesn't identify with any minority group, and is actually quite frightened of the process that would allow her to do so.

how forgiving you are. I suppose you have no problem with a person trying to turn "Black Panther" or "Klu Klux Klan" into a positive identity.
 
Well, she is a woman. Guess that we got that all fixed now. I didn't get the memo.
 
You're damned if you do- you're damned if you don't.

I said that I perceive it as a negative. Sallylou said she wanted to reclaim the term- my post was in support of that.

Is she?:giggle: We have no proof of that.

Even CSign does not understand the offensiveness of her chosen screen name, as it is a statement of her believe in SEE as preferable to ASL as a communication mode in an English using majority society.:cool2: She truly has so much to learn.

That would be "you're" not your. Signed in SEE as "you are" and not "your."
 
What I'm getting at is that you don't understand the Deaf/HOH experience. You have to put yourself in someone else's shoes. That means learnings how to deal with the vulnerability from being in a minority group. Have you ever stepped out of your role and felt like you were out of step with most people?

Actually it's a contraction, so it would be signed you're. As in "you" and the "re" contraction. Thanks for catching my error. I'm sure no one will jump on you for correcting me as I am not d/Deaf. If I were you would be the first to jump all over YOUR post. LOL

There you go trying to spread inflammatory lies about me. Not one post, ever did I say SEE was preferable in all situations. I said it depends on the situation, and that we've had a positive experience with SEE. I'll say please quote me. But I've done that before, to which your response was that you weren't going to "waste your time"... Because what you claim I said doesn't exist anywhere.

Hey, you are the one that stated that SEE was much better for teaching English than ASL was. I am just pointing out that you cannot teach what you do not know.:cool2:

Where is there a lie anywhere in my post. Again with your defensiveness that leads to misunderstanding and petty accusation. If you are going to make accusations, you need to be prepared to support them. As far as us not having any proof that you are a woman, we don't. That is untruthful at all.
 
CSign said:
Damnit. You figured me out. I'm actually an old deaf man trying to pose as a young hearing woman.

An old hearing man, perhaps. But we have no more proof that you are a young woman than we do that you are a woman at all. But we have plenty of proof that you are hearing.:cool2:

Again. I NEVER said SEE was better for teaching English. I said it was a viable option, and one that can be successful when implemented appropriately. Stop criticizing my writing. It's really in poor taste, and what's the term?

Off topic.

We have already referred to that old thread that you started. In fact, a couple of us posted a link to it. People have already seen for themselves that you did just that.:cool2: Maybe you should be careful about what you put in writing.:laugh2:
