That's a pretty low blow and a dang weak response to some legitimate arguments. There is no gang attack happening here, simply people (with and w/o disabilities) stating the fact that some requests are unreasonable. It's not a gang attack to say that when you have a disability there are simply some things in life that you will not be able to enjoy. That's not an attack, and life is not always fair, but it is a reality not caused by other people.

You know many of us non-disabled people have spent thousands of hours assisting those with disabilities and asked for nothing in return. The least you can do is take a look at our opinions and not attack us as being insensitive, or worse, not caring. I'm not one to be easily offended, but that statement was d@mn offensive.
