I don't think there's a big contradiction in my expression of appreciation for the concern (it was brought up, I might as well take it into consideration) and my disagreement about drawing attention to community members with disabilities.

*descends into meta* I appreciate your appreciation of the concern, as previously stated; I've not ever appreciated the original concern (because it drew attention, not because it wasn't nice of perlfan). I appreciate perlfan's intents/motives/whatever; the means were poorly chosen, IMO.

You're absolutely right that your statements don't self-contradict - I'll slyly point out that the fact you'll keep it in mind means you are tagging perlsyntax :), which is why I had/have trouble reconciling them, but as logical statements, they're perfectly sound.
