Which I was I said that, yes, you (general you. One) should say something.

I’m a strong advocate for disability rights and inclusion—really, it was what I did for the first half of my career and I have had a disabling condition in the past—but [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13754463&postcount=51), from another thread about the subject doesn’t advance the cause one bit:

Then again, accusing someone who is checking for stall availability of being a peeping pervert doesn’t advance any cause, ever. 😉
