[Blindtlk] My 2 Cents

Sat Mar 30 00:22:48 UTC 2013

Peter,

For whatever it may be worth, I don't believe anyone here has ever said that
"no one agreed with you." There may very well be people who do agree with
your statements/observations. But the fact that I may not always agree, does
not mean that I am bullying or attacking you. It doesn't mean that your
feelings aren't valid based on your own experiences. It simply means that we
have different views. 

And... as for my "cookie cutter" observation, I will attempt to explain
that.

Several times you have emphatically stated that blindness does make life
harder, and keeps us from truly being equal to the sighted. There are those
of us who don't believe that to be true.  Everytime someone disputes your
observation, you tell them that they are wrong or accuse them of attacking
you. You tell them that they are not living in reality. You then go on to
say that this is typical of the NFB members. 

So, you are forcing us into one mold, and if we don't fit your mold and
stand up and say that, then we are attacking you. I have to say that your
offensive attitude has me feeling a bit attacked.

This is all I intend to say on the subject. Think what you think, and do
what you do.

Diane Graves

Gary,

    I've been bullied on the unfounded allogations that nobody agrees with
me on my positions. I've also been bullied on self-sufficiency even if not
openly just implied by their comments. I'm a very sensitive person so
perhaps in this regard that I'm percieving the intent in the wrong light.
However, I just don't communicate with others or interact with them the same
as the masses either.
Compounding this that I think so differently because of being a minority of
being part of the LGBTQ umbrella that I just can't relate with the social
nuisances too. Sorry just this is the way that I am not the cookie cutting
participant on this or other issues.

sincerely,
Peter
