To be honest, I don't know that many blind people, so I don't know. I
would imagine not, though. However, a blind person can't see anyone,
so they would be expected to treat people online in the same way they
treat people in real life - hopefully civilly. For a seeing person,
there is a difference between perception of real life people and
perception of online people, and that causes a difference in
behaviour. It's not acceptable, of course, but it is understandable.
