Perhaps issue was the wrong word. But "I can't understand the words you use" has, to me, very little in common with "there's a conflict of technology here."

Because to be blunt, I don't feel my journal needs to be accessible to the wider world. It needs to be accessible to the people I want using/accessing it. So someone I've never heard of saying she doesn't understand... has no bearing on what I do, because as far as I'm concerned, she doesn't want/need to access my journal so there's no action I need to take.

However, "Changing text affects people who use adaptive technology" is something I need to know as a community mod - I haven't changed any text, but that's just been because I've not felt the need to, as opposed to a concious decision to keep it accessible for whoever might want to come in. Now I know, I can make sure the text doesn't change.

Does that make sense? I know what I mean, just not how to put it into words. It probably came out all wrong, but I really can't think of a better way to put it. I guess the analogy would be the difference between making my bedroom accessible, and making an office accessible. One isn't public space anyway, so I know the issues of people who are coming in, and I don't need to adapt it for people who wouldn't be there anyway.
