That doesn't make you wrong, that makes you right.

You said:

   ... if he (the moderator) had any special knowledge
    of why I should cut this person some slack (a broken keyboard, 
    cerebral palsy), I'd be happy too.

Shouldn't the moderator have then told you that the person in fact did
have a disability, and then you could have cut the person some slack.

The moderator was expecting the impossible to presume you know the
physical condition of all list posters.
