As always, you're living in a fantasy world, Cancer man.
Here's the official statement from Tayler at DeafRead:
"During this stressful time, Tom Willard requested a post of his to be published at DeafRead, which was declined. It was an obituary for his mother’s recent passing, and I replied with a “No”, then followed up with an e-mail three minutes later sending my sympathies. I apologize for my moment of thoughtlessness in my initial response.
DeafRead generally does not publish obituaries unless they are for someone well-known in the deaf community. To learn about how DeafRead selects posts to publish, see our Guidelines. Unpublished posts are available in our DeafRead Extra RSS Feed. We encourage you to subscribe to blogs that you enjoy and don’t want to miss any posts."

Did Tom announce on Deafweekly that Tayler "then followed up with an e-mail three minutes later sending my sympathies"?!? No, Tom Willard did not. He purposely omitted that fact from his Deafweekly readers in an attempt to run a smear campaign against Tayler and DeafRead. It backfired now that Tom made an ass out of himself! The DeafRead's guidelines were established a long time ago and he failed to read it before posting. You can read the Guidelines here. DeafRead also made another site: DeafRead Vote / Home. In fact, before last weekend, I remember seeing Tom's blog about his mother's passing was posted in DeafRead.net!
IMHO, Tom Willard only made sure he discredited his own status as an editor and a Deaf professional.
I have no respect for people who use their dead loved ones in a situation like this.
P.S. DeafRead.com does not always post my blogs or vlogs, because I don't always follow the guidelines. It would be unfair for me to expect DeafRead.com to bend their rules and post something just because I felt emotionally compelled for them to do so!
