100 posts without a pitting!

Somehow I have made it to 100 posts with being pitted. I’m sure this will change soon, but at least I made it this far and will hopefully earn the respect of everyone here.

To celebrate I ask all of you to look at the table on the right. That’s right, I brought goodies. There is something for everyone. I have cookies (even double-chocolate chip!), pie, chocolate, heck, I even brought hamster food! Since the hamsters are a little busy right now would one of the mods be willing to take it down to them? I appreciate it. As for the rest of you, please, dig in!

With a thread title like that – are you trying to tempt fate, Convict? :slight_smile:

Never mind the lack of Pit-dom – seeing as you’ve gone since June 2000 with only 100 posts, I admire your restraint, mate!
Congrats!

This is all my fault. Heh.

Ok, I’m a newbie here on SDMB, so I have to ask… what does ‘pitting’ mean?

“Pitting” means being called out in The BBQ Pit, the flame forum. Take a quick visit, but cover your ears.

You’ll only end up there if you’re a total ashat.

Are you looking to set a record, or something? I think you may have to get in line behind Polycarp (8280+), Scotticher (3735+), and a couple of others.

If you get Pitted, does someone send you an email? How embarrassing it would be not to show up at your own defamation! :o

I’ve been pitted and I wasn’t a total asshat. Anyone can be pitted, be it for being an asshat or not. For instance, I can pit you right now, even though you haven’t been a total asshat (or even a minor asshat, as far as I can tell :wink: ).

Let’s agree that being a total asshat vastly increases the chances of one being pitted.

They have limited access to the internet, in prison. Give the guy a break. (Well, maybe not. I guess that would be a prison break, and that’s just wrong.) :wink:

Congratulations, and Welcome, Convict! :slight_smile:

Cookies!

And me (2320+).

If I’ve been pitted, I’m unaware of it. But then, I never wander into the pit.

Never say never :smiley:

Oh, I think you know that thread was moved after that post. That’s how I have no fewer than four posts in the Pit! :smiley:

I was pitted after my very first thread!

Can I throw a party? I want to throw a party!:smiley:

Wow…were you thatmuch of an asshat when you started, Captain? :wink:

I haven’t been Pitted, or even flamed, I think, in five and a half years of Doping. I think this is more a testament to the general blandness of my posts than anything else.

I seem to recall Libertarian (I think) pitting Polycarp over some mild philosophical disagreement, and the pitting OP ended with an apology and an affirmation of abiding love for the pittee. Rather low on the vitriol meter, so it might not count.

tracer broke 10K without a pitting. As noted by Arnold Winkelreid in tracer’s 10K post party.

Enjoy,
Steven

I’ve never been pitted to the best of my knowledge. I even do Vanity Searches smetimes, just in case. (Don’t want to miss the opportunity to see what I did to tick somebody off.)

I know my post count is low, but if you count pre-Great SDMB Crash, I’m probably closing in on 1200 posts now…
