Well, Sparky, if you knew nothing about MS, I dont see how its not an appropriate response. I think after the initial shock wears off, and education obtained, reactions change. I really think that if there was more MS awareness out there, all newbies would have a much better reaction. But until that happens, reactions like this, I am afraid, are going to be the norm.
