“It is simply few people who are trying to divide us.” Over the past several weeks, I’ve caught some people commenting on how others tried to divide us. All I could observe is a clash between two different cultures. Their differences, the products of diverse upbringing, don’t indicate that they are “trying to divide the Deaf Community”. [...]
Reviewing what I covered last year, I was staggered by the sheer volume of the blogs produced, especially in the first half of the year. I eventually gave up adding topics after a while, so this list will suffice for now. Overall, this should give you a better idea what topics were explored. Covering the trial [...]
Lack of diversity leads to deficit thinking Deficit thinking can be a two-way street Exactly what is deficit thinking? The thoughts that I don’t subscribe to.. therefore these thinking are deficit? Half glass full or empty? Is it right to see the glass half full.. or is it better to [...]
Some people are under the impression that the listserv known as GallyNet-L has closed down. On the contrary, GallyNet-L is still alive and operating on a different server. As some people already know, approximately a month ago, Davila contacted John Yeh and informed him that GallyNet-L was operating on the server provided by his company, which Yeh [...]
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: Gallaudet’s academic review has been upgraded from ineffective to adequate. However, the OMB continues to be highly critical of Gallaudet’s performance.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/summary/10003306.2006.html NO ADDITIONAL PUNISHMENT: President Davila: I don’t speak in public about individuals who are going through the judicial system. Each individual is dealt with on a case-by-case basis because those are the requirements of [...]
I wore many different hats as a blogger…doing investigative reporting, news reporting, commentaries and analyses, including frequent updates on Unity for Gallaudet Protest. I started listing my best blog posts, but was promptly bogged down by sheer number of posts. I’ve made over 700 posts during the protest last fall. Some days during the protest, I’ve entered ten posts or more. [...]
A discouraging aspect is the personal attacks on private individuals in the comments section of blogs. Of course it is impossible to have blogs without experiencing personal attacks on other commenters or private individuals, but the constant attacks I see appear to convey the message that it’s ok to slam private individuals on a regular basis because [...]
What is this? Deaf people bashing each other big time? First there were articles slamming against a certain Bay Area group for their Gala, with many anonymous critics jumping aboard. Chris Leon listed the blog/vlog panelists, which led to comments regarding Ridor’s being excluded, prompting another round of bashing. Then Ridor, upset about being excluded, discussed whether the invited participants fit his [...]
Ahh, how wonderful it feels to be home again after being gone for two and half weeks! I’d been blogging pretty much every day since September, often making multiple entries during the peak of the protest, at times up to ten posts a day. Since Fernandes’ forced resignation, the frequency of posts has dropped but [...]
