From: James Jolley on 22 Jan 2010 08:54 Hi, I'm sending this because of the spat in the other thread regarding macsoup's accessibility. Yes, "he" derailed the thread again, but more importantly i'm actually frightened to use the words blind, visually impaired, etc, in case I am excluding other disability groups. In short, i've got no confidence to post. He has wone, I really can't be arsed. The attacks he has posted on me are completely unfair and i'm genuinely worried about posting here again with regards to anything disability related. As I've already said in that thread, i'm not in this for my own ends. I've always maintained a good outlook as regards disability awareness. I've promoted OS X to various groups of people. Look, i'm not sure what to do at all, his attacks have shocked me. Best -James-

He's being a blithering idiot, and no more right in his attack on you than he was about Apple keyboards not having fn keys. Ignore him and carry on as you were. Full support from this corner. Also, get a killfile. Rowland won't say anything worth reading until his brain chemical balance changes, which could be months.

I can only speak for myself, but I've always found your viewpoints on Mac accessibility to be informative. It would sadden me if you stopped posting those viewpoints.
