Yes I live in a multigenerational community and yes I am deaf -profoundly deaf since birth. No I am not a lawyer but a retired paralegal now working on local disability rights cases. So I am using this TV case as a learning tool in order to be a more effective (and facilitative) advocate not just for the deaf but for others as well.
Yes I do personally know some of the plaintiffs, but no I am not at all involved in any part of the case.
I do confess though that after living in Florida two times, I am no fan of Florida and senior citizen communities.
It does seem that I am have been posting a lot lately. It is only because I did not learn about these forums until recently when I stumbled across the case during my research and when a friend of mine in Melbourne told me about the case. So this case can and may have ramifications throughout the country.
In case you're wondering which side of the fence I am on, I am on top of the fence. It is my opinion that both sides blew it.
