I didn’t write the petition but it shouldn’t take much thought to figure out the “D” is a metaphorical symbol used to represent how the digital technology of the DVD is a benefit to the Deaf Community.

Then you can explain the "metaphorical symbol" involved in capitalizing community. Or is "Deaf Community" a name, like France?

I thought it was an edit to say that by "Deaf," the original letter-writers intended "deaf." Sorta like saying "Wom[e]n."

I thought it had to do with some people knowing that "deaf" isn't capitalized, though the more extreme in the community like to have it capitalized.
