The poor? Are you refering to people with disabilities by any chance? I hope not, because that would be quite condescending. Being forgotten by society might feel like alienation, but to assume people with disabilities are automatically poor is quite a stretch. Some of us have paying dayjobs, you know... Besides, why do I have to out myself as a blind user to be allowed to ask for plaintext postings without being immediately downvoted/punished? I think it is quite revealing about the audience here recently. And no, I am not writing posting for maximum popularity.

> The poor? Are you refering to people with disabilities by any chance? I reckon that's a figure of speech in my language that probably doesn't translate well (or possibly at all) to English. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be condescending or to imply people with disability are actually poor. It's something more akin to the term "rat race", but not quite. > why do I have to out myself as a blind user to be allowed to ask for plaintext postings without being immediately downvoted/punished? You don't have to and that's not what I said. I said "If you made this about accessibility in the first place". EDIT: Oh, and I didn't downvote, but probably the downvotes are more about the "as bad as Meta" comment without specifying you were actually talking about accessibility.
