I sometimes wish more people would be honest about their anxiety in dealing with what may offend, what to expect, how to accommodate someone, etc. rather than just shout at deaf people or treat everyone in a wheelchair like they have an untestable IQ.

The way the conversation turned, though... I could not believe how they completely infantilized and degraded little people like that. To me that was beyond drama - it seemed like casual cruelty for the sake of viewer reaction, and it sure got a reaction out of me. I'll always respect someone's right to an opinion, but that doesn't mean I'll have respect for them for their opinions.

Very well said, I agree completely. I also think your coffee has more kick than mine.
