In actual fact I walked into the store with my grandson to see about buying a strimmer, which I did, whilst he went and got the compost. I paid the bill by credit card and we left the store.

That is not what you originally said. Your original version of the story was that you drove to the disabled space, parked there and sat in the car waiting whilst your able-bodied passenger who was perfectly capable of walking the distance from a non-disabled parking space went into the shop. This you were depriving a disabled person of a parking space. You continued to insist that you had every right to do that because you have a blue badge. No matter what anyone said to you about the blue badge not being for the benefit of passengers of disabled drivers.

You really should read the responses more carefully because I have not followed any crowd. I have my own personal opinions on this subject just as I have on others and my personal opinion on this topic is that you were being stubborn, self-centred and blinkered. An opinion I still retain.

However, I think you have now realised how your attitude was the one that was anti-disabled and that the people you condemned were the ones who were supportive of disabled people and having realised that you had the choice of holding your hand up and admitting that you were wrong, which would have been an admirable thing and earned you some karma, or of trying to twist your original post by claiming to have meant something quite different to what you'd actually said you chose the latter. I can't help wondering if we still had the edit feature if you would have gone back and changed your original post and then accused people of misinterpreting you.
