I was rasied by deaf parents. Up untill the age of 12. I am 14 years old. I am doing a paper in Deaf education for my 8th grade paper. I want to be a teacher for the deaf. My paper is about how deaf people are treated in public schools. From what I see from your Videos that you know a lot about deaf education. I was wondering if you could e-mail me at watup16@gmail.com. I was wondering if you could give some pointers on deaf education for my paper. Thank you. Ashley Jarrett HI,

I totally understand how you feel. I totally love DeafRead and that kind of mess cannot continue. I am glad you have said something about it and it seems that DeafRead is actually doing something about it such as taking responsibilities on how vloggers and bloggers make comments on other people. It can be based on their own opinions however being harsh on people is not apporiate. Secondly, I totally agree with you that I do not wish DeafRead portait deaf community like that. I want to see Deaf community grow into an intellgent group of people not a group of people that makes a fool out of themselves. I'd be embarrassed. Once again, thank you for your opinion and once again I respect your decision alas it's sad to see you leave. I'll subscribe your site! Although, suppose DeafRead has done something about this situation and true biz improve their responsibilties on "being harsh on other people or making harsh comments", will you come back? Like you said, your door is unlocked. Thanks for sharing. :) I totally agree with you. I totally understand how you feel. I totally love DeafRead and that kind of mess cannot continue.

Anon. #8 felt the need to tell you about freedom of speech. That may be true, but what about common human decency. Why do we, Deaf or not, feel the need to demean others in order to make one self feel better. Why are some Deaf better than others? They're not. We're all humans, we're all created EQUAL. I totally support you and Patti in leaving DeafRead. I've left too. I will wait to see if they bring up their standards or not. Thanks to you and Patti for sharing with us all! Joey,

I am glad that you are still keeping us in your subscription list. Thank you. I do want you to come back but I understand where you are coming from. My last comment was rejected from Deafread which did not surprise me. They have the tendency to ask viewers for feedback but we always get spit at our faces. They pretend to listen to us. Deafread wanted to give good impression to the world how professional they are to us. However, they wish to maintain their dictatorship. Editors/Moderators should always stay neutral and should NOT be active in their blog or vlog. It is conflict of interest. They are intelligent people and they know what they do is very wrong. They refused to admit it. I look forward to seeing a new website with neutral moderators and have all bloggers/vloggers from different background to come, share and respect each other. Deafread don’t have those qualities. I hope something will come up for our community soon. Glad you are not leaving us. You are like a Moses to us, smile. I gotta buy you a rod so that you can use it to get us to come forward. Smile. I have noticed that I used some biblical names for some leaders like you. John Egbert is my God…David E is my Saul/Paul, Ella is my mother Theresa. I will think of others later. Hey! I am just being funny here to light things up.  Joey-

They're doing it in their own free time, you know, giving up time they could otherwise probably prefer to spend relaxing and enjoying recreational activities.

Joey, now I see your view better as if we are in same room and we had a good chat. It is not locked - your emphasis was a bit heavier in this, good . . . video in internet is here to stay - and the deaf community will undergo changes led by new inspired people like those now in the blogworld and in the future. You continue your exemplary work on your website(s) which contribute to the increasing usage of blog/websites in the deaf community.

Yes, we do have the right to "freedom of speech and the right to free press"; however, its a place for a person to voice his/her voice. its not a place for name calling or insults to happen. Yes, we have a right to agree to disagree, but it a rightful tone; to listen and respect each others; isn't that part of learning?!? i did enjoying reading deaf read back when it first came out, over the last year, i lost motivation to even check the site; its in a 360 degree direction; it seems you cant have a healthy "blogging" with the insults happening. I do see and understand your reason for leaving deaf read, quite frankly, I don't blame you. It also seems that the "mission" to why deaf read was created in the first place has been lost along the lines and over the last year or so. Honestly, since I don't read deafread anymore, I first saw the "news" on teri's vlog, did some back tracking on deaf read, saw the whole picture. Funny, if a newspaper says something incorrect or falsely accuse of someone in their articles; they could be open to a lawsuit......but yet they are careful how they get their point across and can still have a direct open dialogue with their consumers.
