Anonymous asked: YOU actually wrote the transcript? Holy shit, I commend you for that because I know it couldn't have been easy, not just to listen to the theme of the audio but rather taking all that...

Here's some background on this post: on AMP (now AAMP), there was an audio post (possible done by Redd) and a deaf tumblr user asked for transcripts to the audio post. The whole story can been seen here.

fightingweakness replied to your post: I want to apologize for calling all the AMP mods...

Apologizing is for the weak.

Apologizing is for those strong enough to acknowledge their mistakes, learn from them and move on.

Updated the Transcriptgate page, for those of you who missed it. 

I asked for a transcript. Now all I'm asking for is either proof of my being an asshole or an official apology for the ableist and grossly inappropriate actions of not one but 2 AMP mods.  

Shout out to Kevin of the tumblr support staff for being a superhelpful BAMF.

We are trained professionals with the responsibility of asking the important and probing questions that elicit the interesting answers that tennis fans want answered. When our exclusivity is removed by posting transcripts it makes the expense of sending journalists to cover events appear questionable to those holding the purse strings.
