[nabs-l] Staring

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

But when we "have fun" with it, don't we send the message that the
behavior is okay? I'm not suggesting we become combative or rude, but
acting in a manner that will appear as though being blind is indeed an
oddity and something to be stared at has the potential to tell those
staring that it's perfectly acceptable behavior.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter
