Also, it should not be down to how an individual employee is feeling when someone contacts a company that they work for.

It's only unlawful if it can be shown to be directly related to a disability or one of the defined characteristics listed in the Equality Act.
If you are disabled but the obnoxious behaviour was not directly related to the disability, then this is not grounds for alleging discrimination on grounds of disability.
