And, based on your behavior, you apparently don't like convincing
others or advancing the cause of accessibility.  It seems you prefer to
annoy and alienate others.

That can be accomplished in a polite and respectful manner.  You claim
to be advocating for <whatever>, and trying to accomplish <something>,
yet your actions indicate the opposite by their counter-productive
nature.

IOW, you don't really care about increasing accessibility, you just
want to hear the sound of your own voice as you shout into the wind.

If you actually cared about accessibility for the handicapped, you
would care about convincing others to care also -- because that's the
only way the situation can be improved.

Yes, it is worse.  People who don't care are neither helping nor
hurting your cause.  However, you're actively hurting it.

People will not separate your personality from the cause you espouse.
You may not like it, but that's a fact.  If you are in favor of XYZ,
and act rude and insulting while espousing XYZ, people will react
against not only you but _also_ XYZ.

You can claim that's neither "right" nor "fair" nor "good" nor
whatever.  But it's a fact -- just like gravity.  You may not like it
or find it convenient. But if you insist on ignoring it you're just
going to crash into the ground over and over and over again.
