Any would do. But alas! I can’t find a good reason to do so. I am feeling left out, with half\* the pit threads being about one mod or the other it seems logical that each poster has, is, or will be pitting a mod. Except I; and that isn’t fair. So, if any of you mods can please give me a reason to pit you, it doesn’t need to be good, I’ll be very happy.\*\* - Minor exaggeration \*\* I can’t think of any time a mod gave me reasons for a pit thread. Perhaps they don’t even know I exist. ☹ ---

If you can’t find a mod to pit, feel free to pit me. At least I would feel that somebody knew I was here! That way, we can both feel “special”! ---

Jeeze, it’s so hard to get good help these days. **Fetchund** , it takes about three years and 10,000 posts to get noticed around here if you aren’t annoying in some particular way. I guess you could look at is as a good thing. (And I recognize your username, for what that’s worth.) ---

You could pit **SkipMagic** , he seems to enjoy it. I know, pit \*\*SkipMagic \*\* for being a mod in MPSIMS and never doing anything in MPSIMS to upset you enough to get you to really pit **SkipMagic**. Its convoluted, but again, I believe \*\*SkipMagic \*\* enjoys his pittings. Jim ( I managed to get 5 **SkipMagic** references into this short post, not bad.) ---

But, **featherlou,** you recognise me 'cuz I’m a plant geek. I’ve got to get annoying real quick if I’m going to re-up this year, and I’m about as out of annoyances as **Mighty\_Girl** is of Modular Pittifications. (Although, I am learning TONS of good insults here… I’m just to wimpy to ever use them.) (And now, I’ve got “Twoo Love” from The Princess Bride skittering around in my head…) ---

[QUOTE=Kythereia] _I’ve_ never been pitted. _big liquid Bambi eyes_ [/QUOTE] You’ve never been pitted? I’m shocked. Well, does it count that I was thinking of pitting you for not coming back to tell us if Heaven really is like an office job. Now we may never know!

I think you should pit **Arnold Winkelreid** just because I love hearing his name.

[QUOTE=Mighty\_Girl] The thing is, I’ve never pitted another poster, much less a mod, and have never been pitted. What am I doing wrong? Am I the Switzerland of the SDMB? [/QUOTE] Well, you’ve been here for almost 6 years and have only 1,855 posts. That’s hardly enough to be offensive with unless you’re working at it. I bet there are some people here that have only been here less than 6 months that have the same post count. And I’m really, really sorry, but I’ve never seen you before this. ☹ Maybe if you insulted me, I’d remember you. Then again, given the last insult I received, maybe not. ---

[QUOTE=Mighty\_Girl] The thing is, I’ve never pitted another poster, much less a mod, and have never been pitted. What am I doing wrong? Am I the Switzerland of the SDMB? [/QUOTE] Another way to get attention as a girl is to make a lot of sexy, flirtacious threads and posts. For example, “I pit my huge boobs!” in the pit, or “what is this mole on my thigh?” in GQ 😃 I know a few posters here that obviously aren’t that blatant, but are quite naughty sometimes with their wordplay 😉 ---

I’ve been here for 6 years? Oh mine! Time flies when you are having a good time. Actually I lurked for about a year before I had anything to post. Hmm… maybe I should convert to Scientology, deny the moon landing or start preaching against male circumcision, or something. My point is, why do so many posters pit the mods? I don’t get it. Time and number of posts has nothing to do with it, some people implode in their first days (even hours). And **Heffalump and Roo** , your username sucks. 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-would-like-to-pit-the-mods/398184.md?page=2)
