I am upsetted by Richard's comment about ASL and so on






Richard ~
(I don't want to offend you but I have to tell you this) Your cognitive thinking is extremely distorted. You watch ASL Vloggers and you mention that ASL is to be blamed? You depend on ASL in your own daily life. You work with various of consumers. You go way over the line a big time. You insult ASL-ers, KG (Kappa Gamma), and so on. Apparently, you surely make your agency looks bad! Deaf/HH consumers will turn away from your agency if you keep behaving like this. Your agency will be ruined eventually! Sounds like you are a traitor of the Deaf community and it hurts. Think first before you "ASL"! One more brief vlog to say. I no longer subscribe your Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center Newsletter thru e-mail after I had learned more about you and your agency. I am pretty upsetted by your vlog most of the day. The issues such as racism, ASL, and such. I am also affected by those issues today. The bottom line are to respect and be open minded!

A fantasy realm created by Richard Roehm and he continues trumpet his own song. He has created a stir in the deaf communities. He is a person who being a rage by ASL people because we the ASL people are exercising our rights that were taken away from us for over hundred years.

Richard Roehm claimed that everyone has bulled him out. It is very interesting because I have evidence of my conversation with Richard Roehm from last year. I have never met him before and I send him a message that I want to understand his perspective. Guess what, he bulled me as well. He is contracted himself in many ways.

Whatever he said it is from a fantasy realm of his, not in our reality. In reality, ASL people will show everyone that we are the intelligence people that we can communicate through interpreters. Guess what, Richard Roehm rejected the concept of using interpreters and oral is the pathway to a success in future. How can he become a deaf advocate? It is something I can’t understand about him. As you said we hope he will understand our intentional in peaceful and return our rightful to use ASL without any criticize.

Bottom line, he is rage due to “money was stolen from him by old deaf guard.” He wants us who uses ASL pay him certain amount of money and he will forgive us. I am sorry Richard Roehm, we the ASL people owe you nothing!

Thank you,
Aslpride

I think people should report complaints to certain organizations that send money or a grant to Richard’s agency for his inappropriate action in blogs and vlogs as a "paid" deaf advocate.

Karen Mayes said...

Hmmm.

I usually keep quiet when I read the blogs and view the vlogs...

We have to remember all of us have our own journeys... Richard has his own journey. Also, we all have our own perceptions of what truth is, so we cannot force other people to see truth in our ways. It is called respect. Yes, when we feel disrespect, we react. When some feels threatened and hurt, they lash out, like Richard is doing. So I don't know what is up with him, but I just respect his anger, since it is his anger alone, not our anger.

That wasn't very nice of Richard to do that to you. I am an oral deaf person who speaks orally, and I fully support the right of those in the deaf community to sign in ASL.

ASL is not an inferior language, and any attempts to make it seem like it is an inferior language, does not help at all.

Richard is not representative of me or other oral deaf people. He is an oral extremist, and I don't get this need to isolate others on both extremes of the deaf spectrum. We are all deaf, are we not?

Deaffacts,

I am Robert L. Mason (RLM). I am really perplexed why you use my intitals - RLM refer to Richard Roehem. I have not make any following reply on this blog/vlogsite til today (Friday afternoon, 10/5/07 around 3:50pm)

Many people know me as RLM (Robert L. Mason). I have nothing to do with the "Sextoon" shirt, etc.

I do not possess any "Sextoon" shirt or any related materials.

Don't you mind to explain which person you are talking about?

I do not use any video postings at all. I do not know how to edit and post video remark, etc.

Please make sure that you are not confused with me and another person. Thanks!

This vlogger personally know me from the Class of '89 at Gallaudet University. Check out the 1989 Tower Clock to see that I am not Richard Roehem or someone else.

Robert - RLM

Lol Deaffacts must've mistyped your intital name. It is actually Richard Roeham .. not you. Richard wears a black T-shirt that says Sextoon. Read his first second comment in his vlog. An odd guy I guess. Probably hinting he craves for sex or something.

Robert Johnson who was a Gallaudet student did many sextoon artworks . He got killed in a single car accident a several years ago.

RLM said...

Many thanks for your clarification on the confused uses of someone's intitals, Squ65.

Yea, some people refer Richard Roehem to the intitals - R.R. :)

I know about Robert Johnson's creation of the Sextoon cartoons until his unfortunate car accident few years ago. He was once my dormitory floor neighbor at the second floor Cosgwell Hall (North End/Ballard Dorm now)during the year of 1988-9.

Thanks again, Squ65.
