Hello Adrian,

Please explain how it is "ignorant" to simply ask a company to stop a legal 
action?

Dan, the Scarlet Wombat, mentioned a trademark case filed by McDonald's.  In
fact, McDonald's has filed several, and it's instructive to see why they won
some and lost others.  Wikipedia has an article on the subject, though it
should be noted many statements it contains are not sourced:

I believe Darrell's petition may do harm.  Many of FS's customers have
legitimate criticisms of its technical service, the recurrence of old
software defects, and so on.  This petition is frivolous and based on
ignorance, and it may cause management to take the community of individual
blind consumers less seriously.  Remember, FS undoubtedly makes most money
not from individuals, but the government, rehab agencies and other
institutions.  We need to speak intelligently on matters where we actually
know what we're talking about if we want to be heard.
