I was pitted about a month ago, by the infamous Johnny Hildo. He decided that I was a “serial killer waiting to happen” because I have some odd fetishes involving superheroines getting knocked out and captured. I found the pitting very amusing. All the silly comments that people were making gave me an idea for a new “superheroine knockout/capture” scenario that I commissioned and put on my “Comic Art Fans” gallery page, so it wound up being a positive experience for me! ---

[QUOTE=mswas] No [/QUOTE] [Wrong answer.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=421769&highlight=mswas) Not trying to pick on you, but when you said you hadn’t been pitted, I thought, hmmm, maybe I’m just getting old (okay, no ‘maybe’ about it. I’m getting old for sure), but I think this guy’s been pitted not too very long ago. I don’t participate in the pit much, but I do duck in there every once in a while to see what’s going on. ---

Missed edit window, I just checked to be sure and found out I’ve actually pitted a member here as well. Many of you will remember the notorious **mittu**. I pitted him for his now infamous trivia question. :: shakes fist at his general direction! :: ---

Only once that I can recall. It was quite sad too. A pathetic little troll started an OP accusing me of being gay (he thought I was male). As I’m a female it didn’t have the intended effect of emasculating me. As I have no horror of being mistaken for a gay man - or heck, a gay woman for that matter - he’d still have been barking up the wrong tree even if he’d been right about my gender. ---

Once, that I know about. Minor incident. Was more chucklesome than anything else. ---

I got pitted in a thread that started with the OP asking advice for his daughter, and ended up Mosier vs. The World regarding child support. I don’t have a very popular opinion on that subject, I’ve found. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever-been-pitted/416334.md?page=5)
