There is a clear discretion problem here. And it stems from the preexisting social circles, and those attributes these individuals commonly share. It's become radically exclusive, albeit masked as an inclusive environment through chains of rules that desperately impact individuals that act or have a disability in a similar fashion as me. </pre>

</div>Charles, I don't know about your conversations with Al. However, the<br>
first time we spoke, right after I told you that I didn't want to keep<br>
talking with you because I found you annoying and abrasive*, you<br>
response was to ask me if I was instead offended that you were gay.<br>
<br>
*I know, right: Tom calling someone annoying and abrasive, that's<br>
rich! When you get the opportunity to meet Charles, you should judge<br>
for yourself.<br>

</div>I know that I've said this already, but that sort of behavior is<br>
totally unacceptable. I would very much like to hold accountable the<br>
person who acted this way towards you.<br>

</div>If you think that Noisebridge has failed to adequately accommodate a<br>
disability of yours, perhaps you might find it more useful to specify<br>
in particular which accommodations your disability requires, and which<br>
we have failed to provide. I suspect that would work better than<br>
simply pasting a selection from the act.<br>
<br>
If you think that the ADA prohibits folks from complaining when you<br>
act like a jerk, you are mistaken.<br>
