Without knowing this information, I have a sense that this thread is going nowhere... fast!
If you say so, but I think that's a bit of a stretch.
I think the point of the OP was that he was shocked to see that someone wasn't willing to make a small (yes, the term 'small' is highly debatable as is evidenced by this thread) accomodation for a family travelling with a severely disabled child.
I agree with the OP in this case. The thing that surprises me is that so many posters seem to be more concerned about their sitting in an aisle seat than doing something to possible help a family that probably already has more challenges that we would normally deal with on a daily basis. Doesn't mean anyone should be forced to nor feel obligated to do or not do something. I am just expressing my surprise and a little chagrin at the reaction of some posters.
