Yes because the misconceptions about the deaf posted here have me deeply concerned. I have been profoundly deaf since birth and cannot stand in the wings while others rant. attack, and vilify the deaf.
If it is any consolation to you, I myself would not have requested interpreting services for "fun" situations. However, the law (ADA) is the law, and we cannot discriminate against any disabled person by saying sorry, this is not something you need and therefore we won't provide services to you.
I do agree though that it is one of the most abused laws in this country.
