But can you imagine that not everyone is 20 years old and not everyone is 
passionate about "cool" gadgets and not everyone is motivated to test as 
much things as possible and look cool in their gang?
Try to care more about the others and not only about yourself just because 
that way is more easy and effective.

Nobody cares about what you expect, because it seems that you are interested 
only in what helps you immediately as easy as possible.
Nobody should think about what is accessible or not accessible because 
ideally, everything should be designed to be accessible to everyone or at 
least to as many people as possible.

Oh, and you care more about your insignifiant time than the potential to 
promote the accessibility for millions of users worldwide?
I don't blame you because everyone is a little selfish, some more and some 
less, but at least don't try to demonstrate that the selfish atitude is the 
one that should be folowed because it is more efective on the short term and 
more simple.

This is a selfish atitude again. As I already said, any blind programmer can 
choose the right language and/or GUI lib to make an accessible app so he/she 
will be very happy, but what about the rest of the people?
Do you think that the discrimination is something normal?


> So, call me a Nazi or whatever, that's just how I feel.

Ok, nazi is just another political party and there are very many people like 
you, so this is not a problem.
But don't try to convince the others that the nazist opinions are those that 
should be promoted.
