if accessibility is only for the good people with disabilities, and merricatk is a bad person with a disability

That was a thread that had been bugging me from when we chatted about this earlier--there was something that had been niggling at me about the response to Merricatk's post that you'd told me about, and then I realized: it's that people only want to make accommodation that don't inconvenience them very much.

I haven't gotten to read all the background yet, and plus I'm not sure that what I'm thinking right now is A: informed, or B: Finished. There's something in this about untenable positions, and the right for groups to set boundaries, and the right of people to ask for accommodations...and then I'm also reminded of the fact that sometimes there are behaviors which someone can't help, but which are incompatible with the needs of the many. These are all real things which can be mutually exclusive. Where that leaves anyone in this situation, I don't know. I should go read more before I say anything else, and plus this was probably too jumbled-up anyhow.
