That shows you don’t have the faintest idea what you are talking about and are just passing on exaggerated rumors.

I am writing a book and had a legitimate reason to knock on doors. I was polite and I have video to prove it.

I didn’t scare any children. I have video to prove it. Stop spreading false rumors. You’re making an idiot out of yourself.

You should look in the mirror, because YOU are the evil person, not me.

I just ask you this — “quis custodiet ipsos custodes”?

Taking Brian at face value is too much, considering that he is not subjecting himself to the same level of intense scrutiny. Can I say — hypocrisy?

Brian Riley done in real gentlemanly and thoughtful fashion like interviewing people and doing the background investigations to get know Jane Fernandes much better as a person who and what she was all about. I was there!!!

Brian Riley done real nothing wrong like going up to JK’s childhood house in Worchester, Massachussetts and acquainted with people who personally know Jane Fernandes as a youngster. The interview subjects said good things about Jane.

Brian Riley went to Jane’s father in very respectable way and asked him for an interview. JK’s father was very wary when he answered the door. He went beserk after seeing the recorded machine. Brian Riley and another deaf individual just left the property. JK’s father came out of the door again and lunged toward us with holding the cell phone. We were perplexed to see JK’s father in such hostile behavior.

Other reporters and journalists would do the same things like going up to the presidential candidate or designate’s childhood home or any childhood friends to understand the presidential nominee or president-elect much better as a person.

Too bad, JK’s father never give Brian Riley and another deaf individual a perfect opporunity to tell his side about who and what Jane Fernandes is all about.

Invading JK’s father’s personal privacy? Nah! JK’s father simply could say “No, thanks!”, instead of turning hostile or raving mad. JK’s father was a public figure as a courtroom judge.

Jane Fernandes become the public figure after accepting the Gallaudet presidency. That was the price she have to pay for being the 9th Gallaudet President.

The videorecording of Brian’s interviews with Jane’s subjects will shown differently how he conduct his interviews. All of you will see what a pathological liar JK is.

When reading the Worchester article on JK’s claims about receiving hostile visitors or mob outside her house in MD. My first reply was “Oh my God!” I really couldn’t believe how she keep drumming lies all over the media” I really feel sorry for Jane Fernandes in many ways. I hope that she will finally take a hard look at herself on the mirror and make a positive contribution to the deaf education and community at large in near future.

I personally do not want to do anything with Jane at all after she branded the Gally protestors “terrorists” and “anarchy”. Jane dared to spew the lies about deaf identity and played the deaf cards against the deaf community at large.

Could you imagine that JK and her family put up the “No Trepassing” and installed the alarm system around her wooden yard while other houses were openly built without any feeling of fortress? Guess what? Brian Riley urged both of us to respect Jane’s wishes - “No trepassing” and never land our feet on Jane’s yard or attempt to knock on her door.

Jane’s “No Trepassing” sign is kinda worn-out. That’s how she really have the kind of attitude toward people in general. Jane’s real loss for not being openly embraced and less confrontational and sponatetous with people especially her questionable adminstrative skills.

Other people think that it means that Fernandes was not supportive of deaf people.

Other people think it means that cultually deaf people rejected her because of her oral background, which is ridiculous, because so many cultually deaf people grew up exactly that way.

And then Jordan was lying. He told Neal Conan on his National Public Radio interview after the protest that they (Jordan and Fernandes) were not claiming that protesters thought she wasn’t deaf enough. Also, Fernandes said in her TV interview in Palm Desert that the issue was resolved, and she understood that people were not rejecting her that way. Yet, now in the interview after her termination, she says it anyway, and that makes her a liar one way or the other.

Stop engaging in smears and do something productive. Don’t be a sore loser. Think of the wonderful things that will be happening in deaf ed in the future. The protest was a wonderful, wonderful thing that happened, for everyone. It will even help oral deaf, too.

I have been very helpful in helping or contributing my part to win the protest and therefore thousands of students in the future will have a better education.

Who is the real scumbag? You are doing yourself here (smearing people’s reputations) what you accuse me of doing, and therefore you are a hypocrite.

I absolutely agree with you about the real necessity of making the “common ground” goals within our deaf community at large to define who and what we are all about. :)
