This raises an interesting question… at what point does it become clear that the singling-out of your ideological peers as being particularly reprehensible is less a matter of persecution, but rather an indicator that, perhaps, the ideology you hold is reprehensible when taken at face value, and tends to attract horrible people?

Let’s leave the political potshots out of this forum.

I don’t believe Airman Doors or Fenris have – at least not for their politics. Ditto Jodi. (Yes, I know she’s not around anymore)
I am the only poster with “Fuck You” in my pitting, and I’m a stalinist, so I’m not feeling this.
That’s right. My pitting says “Fuck You” in the title. “Fuck You.”
I’ve never been pitted and I’ve never voted for a democrat for any office higher than governor.
There’s a bunch of low post volume conservatives that I’m guessing don’t post enough to bother folks enough to get their own pit thread. Names like Flyer and Algher come to mind, but I’m sure I could think of more if I put my mind to it.
“Supercilious”
I’ll take that.
A “Stalinist”? You follow the ideas of one of the three biggest mass-murderers of the 20th Century (Behind Mao, ahead of Hitler) and you’re proud of it?
If all you got was a “Fuck You” in your pit title, you got off easy and if this was hyperbole, it didn’t work.
Small “s” stalinist. He promises to feel sad if the death toll tops a million.
Moderator Note
Fenris, attacks on other posters are also not appropriate to this forum. Take it to the Pit if you must.

Given that you were not Pitted for your politics, this is irrelevant to this thread.

Sam Stone was the name that jumped immediately to my mind, though I do know that he’s come in for enough verbal abuse in some threads that a Pitting at some point wouldn’t surprise me.
Thanks to all those that have provided factual answers.
My pleasure!

There’s a reason why conservatives are Pitted for their politics … [wolfish grin] …
@ Colibri-as-Moderator – This entire thread is one giant political potshot … but we can’t take political potshots here in ATMB … I must have missed that memo … sorry …
What’s all this about Sam Stone? He’s been pitted many many times, as a simple search would reveal. Not much lately, but then he’s cut back on posting lately.
The chairs are a little worn and there is the hint of cigar smoke around the place but the drinks are cheap and the atmosphere -------------- is interesting.
I counted 5 Pit threads. There’s a 6th one in the Pit, but it was started in IMHO and moved to the Pit, so I didn’t count that one.
Looks like I was wrong then. Thanks, John.
