_Very_ brief, that check, then:

[here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/steophan-blacks-are-subhuman-is-either-true-or-false-and-by-itself-has-no-moral-component/715514)

Given I’ve only created 23 Pit threads in 20 years, several of which are not even about posters, I think on-board bigots are sufficiently covered in my résumé. And that’s ignoring my frequent updates to omnibus threads like this one:  
[here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-bigoted-asshole-omnibus-thread/623489/3687)

And if your point was that I also created “ordinary” Pittings, my reply would be “Yes, and…?” since I have never said the Pit should _only_ be for calling out bigotry.
