Are there any conservative posters that post on a regular basis that have not had a BBQ Pit thread about them? ---

Honestly? I have no idea if I’ve ever been pitted. I almost never look at the Pit. ---

**astorian** , your name returns 0 results in a Pit search of thread titles. Could just be the search function. ---

Questions about the Board belongs in ATMB. Not knowing that deserves a pitting. ---

I’m probably not “conservative” enough to qualify. Since I never visit the Pit, I would have no idea if I’ve been Pitted. Probably not controversial enough, sadly. ☹ ---

The OP is certainly posted in the wrong forum. I’ll move it to ATMB from General Questions. Not even sure if that’s the correct place. **samclem** , moderator. ---

I think Cato, Franco, and those people are... I didn’t see anything for astorian, via Google. I feel like pitting is more a factor of newness or visibility than it is of political persuasion. Qadgop, for example, has been pitted, and I can’t think of someone who would seem less likely: > **[QtM, fresh squeezed fruit juice is nothign more than sugar water with vitamins!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=319814)** > > I need to understand something about your infinite amount of knowledge on health.

Has Sam Stone been pitted? SenorBeef used to be conservative, but then the party moved past him, I think. ---

Yeah, I suspect that having been Pitted is more a function of being a “regular” than of being a conservative. ---

Possibly. However, being conservative is pretty much a guarantee that you’ll be pitted. ---

**Bone** is much more of a (small “l”) libertarian, but on this MB those are often lumped in with conservatives\*, especially since he’s very strong on the 2nd amendment. I don’t recall him being Pitted before he became a mod. We can’t Pit mods, right? \*I’d put **Sam Stone** in more or less the same category, except he’s more on the hawkish side. ---

The nature of pitting is that the person’s screen name is going to appear in the thread title. It shouldn’t be THAT hard to search for.

I use the New Posts and **User CP** buttons mostly to browse the Dope. So I see pit threads all the time with the **New Posts** link.
