I had emailed Tayler Mayer basically saying "shame on you." This is the reply I got with some parts deleted:


This is what I said in the email I sent Tom Willard.


"It's not personal and I sympathize with your mother's death. I cannot

imagine what it could be like."


I have made it clear on several occasions on DeafRead and personal

correspondences with Mr. Willard that DeafRead limits its blogs to

those discussing issues substantial to the deaf community. We consider

this akin to a media outlet, and you do not see reporters talk about

the death of their parents there. My heart goes out to Mr. Willard and

I did not simply say "No" to him, and is particularly disturbing that

this is the light Mr. Willard has chosen to put me in. I hope you

understand that DeafRead aims to bring news and discussion to its

readers, it is not a personal outlet for specific bloggers. We cannot

make exceptions and we work hard to ensure that our editors select

blogs in a fair and balanced manner. Currently our approval rate is

between 55 and 65% so clearly a lot of postings are not published.


Thank you for contacting me directly.


I guess there will always be some sort of politics when it comes to deafness or personal issues.  :eek3:
