One thing I’d like to ask from all of you..

If one of you guys know how to put video comments on wordpress, please do let me know. I’d like to be able to have that option for the commenter..

Thanks! =)

I think it’s about time to write something, hmm?

Hello, everybody;

It has been a while since I posted here. I got so busy with school that the only thing I could do online was to check emails. =\ but right now, I am at home, relaxing, on my Thanksgiving break. I arrived home from Rochester on Saturday, and ever since, I have been catching up on both deafread.com and deafvideo.tv.

As I was looking at deafvideo.tv, I noticed some vlogs that pertained to the topic of people contradicting themselves; they are basically being hypocrites. From my experiences, I notice that many people are hypocrites. Even though they may deny that they are hypocrites, it can be extremely obvious to other people. I’m not going to get too specific here, since most of you guys probably know who’s involved in that situation. However, I think it is healthy to have discussions among people and disagreement may arise. Because of disagreement, it continues the discussion. Sometimes the discussions may get out of control, and would result in people saying angry things that could be insulting.

If you are ever in that situation, it is always best to ignore the insults and say whatever that is on your mind. But if you want to be the bigger person, you should not insult back. You should be able to relay your information in a nice tone, making the other person look like the bad one. Also, I realize that if you do not say anything, it may not help the situation for the future. It may help for the present, but not the future.

So if you feel that you are in that kind of situation, I strongly suggest you to confront the person in private. If you confront the person in the public, other people will see it and get involved themselves. That can make the little situation become bigger. Like, for example, if if a person blows into the balloon and it becomes  bigger, but not too big. After that, the other people will take that balloon and continue to blow their air to the inside the balloon until it pops. When it pops, that is when the situation will get worse.

I do believe in people putting out their opinions, and if you can give your opinion back in a good way, then that is fine for the public to see. But if you plan on making your own blog/vlog that would focus on one person and it includes extremely negative comments, then you’re letting “the shit hit the fan.”

If you did that already and you believe that you are not a hypocrite, then you just did the action of being a hypocrite.

Especially in this world, the deaf world. It is so tiny that rumors and information will be passed around so quickly. Faster than a nanosecond. So please do think before you speak (or sign) because if the information get turned on you, your “reputation” in the deaf community is going to be tarnished and it can be difficult to go back to “normal.”

If you’d like to make a comment about this, you are welcome to – but remember: don’t be a hypocrite. =)
