I see this a lot too. I happen to be a member of both the ACB and NFB. Yeah, I know, its rare. I use both orgs as tools to get what I need done.
Now, what I have found among the blind is that a lot of us are very anal retentive. It may have a lot to do with the fact that we have to be super organized. There is nothing wrong with that. However, the failure to compromise can be a bit of a sticking point. This is rather unfortunate as there is good talent among the blind, but with such mentality as to cause a lot of friction, even with other blind folks. btw, I am also a blind nerd, but I have learned over the years that being inflexible can have serious consequences, especially for me. call it a maturing process. Its something we all have to learn (and it is easier for some and not so much so for others). -eric On Apr 24, 2017, at 7:32 AM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
