Other thing is Purple is not gonna to get away with this since they did destroyed Deaf business behind our backs from a start. So it s not over with FBI investigations will working on Purple and other VRS companies soon or later. I can understand what you are trying to do but Don't waste your breath in a way. It s sad for me to say this but the truth will come out soon or later. The point is my strong instinct tells me something that I am trusting with my own true soul.

@DeafSweetMind: Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Please keep focused on the topic. Other issues can be discussed elsewhere. Thanks again.

Dear Joey, I heard you in my mind, heart and soul. Fear is what I see and feel when i visit DR and DVTV. Fear of being bashed, insulted and humilated. Fear to see individuals reporting to my work and my local cops. Fear is what the certain individuals create on daily basis. I want to do more vlogs in my specialized work, but fear stops me often. This must be stopped. I closed my accounts in both sites based on my fear. Fear in Deaf community? Should NOT!

[mrjoeybaer]

@ASLKimber Thanks Kim - I see and feel for you. After this vlog, I still have some feelings of FEAR. It is really sad for us to have that kind of feeling.

I also must say that I do not feel great sending Purple the letter but I just need to do what is right - out of my heart.

I hear you all but I find it very ironic that audism, to use the currently popular term,

THE OTHER WAY is rampant at a now popular deaf vlogging site. Makes me laugh.....

Hi Joey, I remembered when you left DR/DVTV, I didn't understand why you felt fear and uncomfortable...after you left, I paid more attention to how Tayler dealt with the negative vlogs/comments, whoa, I understood better and didn't feel comfortable thereafter. It is important to have good principle and standard, comfortable enuf to have good discussions, to agree or disagree in a peaceful manner n to bring us to a higher level, focusing on important issues such as better educ for our Deaf kids.

@MeDeafYes Oh yes I was there. I was horrified by those people... That was day I drew the lines from them. Their words were childish, immature, petty and pitiful. Like you said repulsive, indeed!

[LSmae2]

Enjoy your wisdom and rationale discussions. I left DR 1-2 yrs ago. I also left DVTV last fall. I have fear. And continue to fear today. I have a reason for being fearful but I cant state WHY in publicly. But I hear YOU and others.

[DeafSweetMind]

@mrjoeybaer NO problem Mr joey bear. :)

[ridor9th]

@MeDeafYes Yes, I was the one who used it -- why did I do it? For months, Tayler trashed me repeatedly and my efforts to communicate with him was worthless. His repeated negligence on threats, confrontational, stalking and all that has prompted me and few others to lose faith nor respect for him as a person. Hence the name comes up.
