You said that you don't care about convincing anybody either that
accessibility is import or about convincing anybody to do anything
about it.  To me that means you don't care about accessiblity.

It's less than ideal, but it the way people are.

Is that a surprise to you?

That's not what I said.  I said that if you state your opininions in a
rude, insulting, or disrepectful manner, that will turn people against
your opinions regardless of the inherent value of the actual opinions
themselves.  This should not be a surprise to anybody over the age of
three.

That's not what we're talking about.  We're not talking about your
opinions on some unrelated topic.  We're talking about the manner in
which you express your opinions on this topic.

Again, it's not your beliefs about other tops that are causing
problems for you.  What's causing problems is the manner in which you
are expressing your beliefs about this topic.
