Great idea but, as so often in life, the ones who need it the most would be the least likely to take it. ---

**Warning** for **Somethingwitty1** : Enough is enough. Harassing posters across two threads. Stop this behavior immediately. Seems to have started here: > [@What is the English word for a human with a naturally occurring vagina?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-english-word-for-a-human-with-a-naturally-occurring-vagina/950861/176): > > I will donate 100 dollars to the charity of your choice if you pop into: [Do women wear pads and tampons all the time, or only during menstruation, or what?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-women-wear-pads-and-tampons-all-the-time-or-only-during-menstruation-or-what/946996) And accuse everyone being being homophobic for not using the correct terminology. correct everyone. You chose an odd way to follow a mods instructions coming here with this stunt. > [@What is the English word for a human with a naturally occurring vagina?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-english-word-for-a-human-with-a-naturally-occurring-vagina/950861/179): > > May i suggest, as a mod, that urging posters to insult each other is a bad idea. ---
