Reply #28: I don't post there either because they do censor--but I doubt they

would censor an anti-Hillary post. They hate Hillary.

The last time I tried to post there was when their resident psychologist blogger referred to the effort of raising a hearing-impaired child as a terrible burden and commented that a child with hearing impairment was a "broken" child.

I have a severe hearing impairment and though it is progressive, so it is worse now that I am 57 than it was when I was young, nevertheless, I had a hearing impairment even when I was in grade school.

Yet somehow, "broken" as I was (and such a burden!) I managed to make straight A's all through school (including college) and to become both an effective teacher of college English and a very well-known internet writer with a worldwide readership in the millions. I have ten public websites, with over 450 articles spread across them, and another 150 articles that I have sold as web content. I also know several deaf/HoH people who are very talented and successful. We are not necessarily helpless, useless losers, as that blog post implied hearing-impaired children are bound to be!

I mentioned my shock at her remark in a comment on her blog post and said I was sure that other deaf/HoH* people and families of deaf/HoH people would not agree with her assessment.

Not only did they not post my comment, they also did not post a later comment I made about their not posting that comment. Now I just don't waste my time trying to comment on their articles, especially when I see the often mindless blather and "so are you" name-calling they do allow to show up in the comments.

*HoH = Hard of Hearing
