I started my “Ask the…” thread because I’ve gotten a lot of questions from strangers in regard to my disability: I thought that this thread would answer some questions that people might be embarrassed to ask a wheelchair user who they met on the street. IOW, I started it to fight ignorance and all that. That’s just me, though. 🙂 ---

Do the mods really hate all the “Ask The” threads? I don’t really see with a problem with them. I can’t wait until the “Ask the person who hates the ‘Ask The’ threads” thread! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-what-the-hell/143775.md?page=3)
