Just pointing out, that's all. “when children who don’t have a say in the decision to have a CI are forced by parents” – ‘force’ is not the right word for it as children cannot decide as they are too young to understand, so therefore parents have to decide.

Deaf haven't got off their arse in 5 years here. You should be suing the ass off the Senedd for rights violations.... Read Byddar Cymmru and see what is really happening here !

Real issues are discussed on blogs still. The deaf world is too confused, they either think they are the same as everyone else (They aren't), or they think they are a special case (They aren't that either). They've gone out into the real world and then got lost.... They do have some eminent people, but they get bogged down with clique's. D4L is dead it is just 'deaf' site that talks non-deaf issues and cut and pasting tweets. I live with deaf people every day, but it doesn't define me as a deaf person par se, you are what you are.

Hopefully your wings are not too clipped. Does that include Twitter too as you've not been on it for a while either....

Keep up with your blog. Don't let the wee shites stop you! Shane Rob,

that is really horrible – I forgot how petty some people can be in England i.e. causing trouble for you at your work, making a mountain out of a molehill :-( it is a nasty trick many deaf people have picked up :-(

Keep your chin up – there are thousands of things you can say – but at the same time you ll have to be conscious – it sucks that you ll have to look behind all the time to make sure you wont be trapped again.

Keep up with your blog. Don’t let the wee shites stop you!

Shane
