I respect the passing of your mother and I am sorry you lost someone you loved dearly. For this reason, my heart goes out for you.
But I don't think it was necessary to use her as part of your agenda or smear campaign against DeafRead. If you don't like how DeafRead editors run their site, why don't you try being proactive and set up your own RSS news syndicating website?! I looks to me that you'd rather be overly reactive and negative towards those who have made it successful. Whether you think DeafRead is all about favoritism or not, you could have encouraged your readers to vote for your post on DeafRead.net. After a number of votes are counted, DeafRead editors would have to post it on DeafRead.com because their guidelines said this would happen. I would expect DeafRead editors to follow their guidelines to the dot.
Again, you didn't check the guidelines and learn how both DeafRead sites work. You just had to make a big pooh-pooh out of this mess!
