Simple thing to follow. It is good enough for others to be part of. Whereas, this blog aspired to be something that does not exist at all. All I see is bickering and putdowns on each other. It is amusing to read others' comments. At least I do not hide behind my own name. But you do, along with many others. Cowardice is perhaps the only defense you ever will have against the ordinary people like me. Chris H, I never claimed to be intelligent nor cared about it. As long as I get my message across, that is all it matters. Like it or not, my blog averaged more than 15,000 hits since the protests started. Says a lot, though.

I do understand completely how difficult for the DeafDC staffers scouting for the right DPHH gathering site via parking spaces and non-smoking environment. You, Rob and other DPHH committee members always try the best as all of you could do for the deaf DC community. Let's set up the DeafDC suggestion box for DPHH location via specific description of facility itself, street address, enclosed pics if possible and other related information. So all of you could rake the incoming suggestions and find the pulse of what the deaf attendees really want from the DPHH gathering sites. Thanks! How true about people nowaday get politically and socially sensitive about little things, Regina! We have to put up our attenta ("dar" = radar) what we find the right thing to say or something would explode in our faces. Yeech! Macabre humor seems out of style right now! We seems living in the world of pretenders so far! Rob and Shane do the very savvy thing(s) like assuring all of us with their sincerities and responsive approach. Thanks again!

Think about it, there ARE people here who don't care about the protest. While i'm not out to offend anyone, needless to say, there are people in the area that never went to Gally for school, yet step on the campus only once or twice a year. I have no interest in the protest, and yet knowing my dark sense of morbid humor, i laughed at the little witty joke. Those of you who are fuming over it, well, chill out. No need to be uptight over it all the time or yet blowing a vein in your head. :D the email didnt bug me one bit. Think about it, there ARE people here who don’t care about the protest.

It was an attempt at humor but the timing was just bad. I found their previous e-Communique saying, "DPHH says Hi!" even funnier! It shows that they're smart and witty. We need more of this. We should remember to be thankful and not critical. Without Rob's leadership, DC would not have DPHH nor would we have a wonderfully progressive website like DeafDC.com. It can be argued that the quality of life for Deaf DC'ers is higher with DeafDC. The balanced set of bloggers here are diverse, smart, beautiful writers, and from all walks of life. You are like a think tank. And there's Shane who I personally know. How DeafDC.com managed to hire him away from NAD is beyond me but it goes to show just how good DeafDC.com is. Keep up the godo work. I only wish we could hear more from Alison, Chris, Bobby, Oscar and anyone else I'm missing. But we all know why they can't say a damn thing about the protest. They work at Gallaudet and have their hands tied. DeafDC.com, Rob and/or Shane did the right thing by taking the high road and apologizing.

These events are NOT a private party hosted by you, are they? Maybe you had a bad day? Maybe you were preoccupied by other stuff? That's okay. I was never under the impression that you were the official host of these events. While you do have a big connection to deafdc, it does not mean you have to go out and shake the hand of every soul who shows up at some social event. RLM quit the "Rob didn't say hi to me", boo hoo hoo stuff. It's childish. Why are you apologizing, Rob? These events are NOT a private party hosted by you, are they? Maybe you had a bad day?
