Abstract
On first glance, Gathers v. 1-800-Flowers.com is a garden-variety web accessibility case. But 1- 800-Flowers.com provides an opportunity to set aside the metaphysical questions about the ADA’s application that pervade the Internet accessibility literature and reflect on the indignity that web users with disabilities frequently suffer for having the audacity to enforce their civil rights.
