Yes Kelly, for what it's worth, I suspect most rational blind
people agree with you! That is, denying the hypocrisy of
NFB policy in their support of a blind unfriendly Web site is
just one more in a decades long series of hypocrisies, and
demanding a solution from someone pointing this out answers
nothing! After all, the solution was there in the original
questioning, you simply don't support in any way such a site, not
exactly something that should need clarification, does it???
You ask me Kelly, the reason many of us don't voice our
agreement with someone when they speak up against some NFB policy
or decision is, like it or not, it's going to result in the old
"NFB bashing" claim once again! That, like demanding a solution
from the critic, somehow makes the hypocrisy disappear, at least
to the loyal Federationist! Therefore, rather than once again
getting involved in an argument where we're accused of "NFB
bashing", despite our best attempts at articulate discourse,
except for these occasional outbursts, our support for those of
you speaking out will remain unheard cheering at our keyboards!
