When the time finally comes and I’m called front and center, I want the pitter to be a board heavyweight such as Airman Doors, USAF or Bricker and it better be a pitting of legendary proportions.

Board heavyweight? Surely not I. I have my pet subjects, but compared to most I am but a rank amateur.
One time a Guest posted copyrighted material in MPSIMS. Not only was an entire article cut and pasted, it was some lame urban legend. I told her that she shouldn’t have done that and included a Snopes link. Not too long later, a Mod deleted the article and warned the Guest. She pitted the whole incident but didn’t mention me by name. Does that count?
Twice. Once for soapboxing (but the thread played to mixed reviews), once for taking the mods at their word and rescuing some old threads by bumping them when they said to do so or forever hold our peace because they were going to nuke threads with no activity since some 199x date.

As long as you don’t put it on your hotdogs, I think you’re safe.

There are people who don’t put ketchup and mayo on their hotdogs?
I haven’t been pitted that I’m aware of. I’m not a very incendiary gal. I think if I had the time to get involved in some of the heated discussions in Great Debates then I might find myself getting flamed. I also haven’t pitted anyone. I’ve read some things that have gotten my hackles up but usually it’s by a poster that I consider too much of an idiot to be worth my time and that poster usually gets themselves banned before they can really get my ire up.
One time, however, I started a pit thread (not about anyone here) and hoooooo boy did I ever bring down a shitstorm upon myself. I deserved it, ate my crow raw and cold and that was that.

ACK! That does deserve a pitting. The ketchup, I would have let slide. But mayo? You are obviously beyond help.

I can only respond with, “Don’t knock it 'til ya try it!” And silenus, really: all the baseball games you’ve gone to, and you’ve never tried this?
Maybe I ought to be pitting some of you for not being willing to experiment with flavor.
I’ve never been Pitted, either. Even when harsh words are written about me here and in some other nameless places in the Internets, there are lots of defenders of my posts, too, which is amazing in some of those cases.
No. I contributed to a pit thread once, which caused at least a half dozen people to turn on me. It got really ugly and I was overwhelmed with trying to answer all the accusations and insults, most of which were illogical, and then I gave up. I have no idea what they said about me after I left.
