If any of us have you mistaken, it’s entirely your fault.

In the airplane thread, you advocated an expensive and pointless change of policy for nothing more than salving your own ego. It had exactly zero to do with the general needs of the disabled community.

In the parking space thread, you showed that you’re an asshole vigilante, not someone working to improve the condition of the disabled community.

In the exercise machine thread, you have revealed that you are willing to punish an institution that benefits the disabled community over a petty squabble over one exercise machine, which you continue to insist you should have been allowed to use in a dangerous manner.

And you still haven’t responded to this:

> [@Slipped under the radar?? \[About me getting kicked out of gym\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/slipped-under-the-radar-about-me-getting-kicked-out-of-gym/593872/137):
>
> _No_ wheelchair-bound individual can get a “proper fitness training session”? Because of the absence of _one_ machine?
> 
> I don’t believe you.
> 
> And I doubt that there is any legal standard that will support whatever definition you’re using for “proper fitness training session.”

Overall, you have presented yourself as a self-righteous, egotistical, confrontational asshole and I’m guessing that your tactics overall serve to make things harder for the disabled community because your approach and attitude make people want to _not_ accommodate you.
