She seems to be shouting the loudest, and everyone else is afraid to stand up to this extremist. Unable to accept a fair compromise of adding graphics, illustrations, sound, and video *whenever possible*, her goal is the absolute eradication of text-only sites from the Web in the putative guise of accessibility, an overarching, crypto-fascist goal we must oppose at every turn.
Is there a way to capture this as a checkpoint or a guideline?
I suggest:
3.X Whenever possible, silence people whose views seem too "extreme"
and accuse them of nefarious deeds.
I'm not sure if I like the phrasing "nefarious deeds", I don't think it
fully captures the enormity of Anne's crimes, and the above fails to
mention anything about the capture of testicles or other genitalia.
Can anyone come up with a better proposal?
