Since the landmark Domino’s case, I’ve been having some conversations about web accessibility with people who wouldn’t ordinarily take an interest. Some of these conversations have been productive; others have not. The following is a dramatization based on true events.
This is a good read to keep on hand for those days when you’ve lost your patience with the pushback regarding web accessibility and will probably be necessary until things like punching people and daydrinking become acceptable options for coping.

I was there and the reason this is so one-sided and hilarious is that it’s Heydon’s attempt to hide his abusiveness as person (whatever he represents) by basically lying about everything he did in the conversation.

and I have to admit I’m no longer cool with that.
