Loose the editorial "we". You have not a clue of what it means.
I have formed my replies in the same manner since the early days of Usenet.

Yes, I deliberately do not try to help blind people see graphics and
photographs. Please tell us how the web can make blind people see.
I deliberately fail to support viewing mechanisms which lack the capability
to view what I am presenting. Please tell us how the web can make their
viewing mechanisms do what they are incapable of doing?
You use the word "discriminate". Should you find yourself in need of work,
consider George Bush' crew. They employ many Spin Doctors.

I have already learned much about HTML and CSS from the others who have
kindly replied. From you I am learning about what some people are like.
