i know what you mean.  it's a difficult situation and one we've all
encountered i'm sure.  i guess there's no right thing to do in that
situation and honestly, i have not always been the perfect
gentlemen.  your point is a good one about being represenatives of
the blind.  once, i had a special educator tell me, "for every
sighted person you allienate, you allienate 5 more".  a few weeks
later, i was driving with him in traffic and he yelled out his
window at a passing motorist something not repeatable in this echo
regarding their herritage.  I couldn't help but remind him that for
every sighted person he yelled at, there's always one blind person
sitting next to him applauding!
