Rikki Poynter | gossiping in ASL is not safe when everyone in the room knows ASL @rikkipoynter | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 23 minutes ago.
I am no stranger to people saying mean things about me on the Internet, and I can’t stop you from doing that, but when you decide to do it at an event that we’re all at, and you know I’m there because we’ve crossed paths and words at each other just minutes to an hour before then, and it’s right in my line of sight and everyone else’s, that’s just… a little awkward for everyone potentially but especially me, lol.
We’re all signers here. The one “negative” to knowing ASL or at least enough of it is when you’re in the line of sight, everybody is going to know your business!

If you want to talk crap about me at an event, that’s fine. But maybe don’t do it in front of me where I can see you (and you know I’m there lol)
