[NFBF-Tampa] apologize

[David]

You appear to have missed the point.  The objection wasn't to research.  
The objection was to a fundraising campaign that patronized, demeaned, 
and infantilized the blind and also served to misinform the**public 
about the competence, achievements, and capabilities of the blind.

Campaigns of this kind are irresponsible and harmful, even if you have a 
burr in under your shirt about the NFB and its efforts to improve the 
lives of the visually impaired and educate the public about the social 
stigmas that holds them back.
