I did not reply because it was obvious I made a mistake (as a partially blind person does when reading small text.) And you took a widely accepted community name and format and gave it your own twist, then sent a PM that was obviously looking for drama. Which is further obvious here.

before you guys upvote him, please read the discussion.

this guy came to my instance, read what I wrote, typed out a report and submitted it; he blames blindness and small text for not knowing which instance he was on, but neither of those issues prevented him from reading my post (it was a post about abuse, in a community I created, on my own instance) and reporting it. That's why I banned him. He's using a disability as an excuse to get away with offensive behavior (ignoring me when I tried to discuss the issue privately first).

Yes, disabled people can behave offensively. Some disabled people can be selfish. Some of them hurt people, then walk away without apologizing, and blame their disability instead of themselves. To me, that's abusive, and I call it out instead of letting people get away with it, because I've suffered enough at the hands of people who make excuses instead of being accountable.
