Most common reason to be Pitted Appears to be Dishonesty?

Ya got any evidence to back up that claim?

Here’s one.

Aside from the fact that participating in any directly political threads just turns into a huge unpleasant pile-on against me, even the non-political threads are tiresome. People constantly find ways to slip in leftist political remarks in any thread regardless of topic and you get slapped down as being off-topic if you ever take the bait and respond to something you fundamentally object to.

I got tired of constantly having to bite my tongue so I don’t hang out here much anymore.

Another data point is that Bricker’s last thread is asking what happened to Shodan before he stopped posting in a long while. I’m sure you’ll say it’s a coincidence.

Question about the new rules that got Shodan banned

I’ve been away. But as I understand it, and please correct me if I am wrong, it would draw a warning, or at least a note, to say something in Politics and Elections about, say, a prominent female politician, that the politician’s spouse was to be pitied for having to look at her (the politician) naked . . . that the politician was so physically unattractive, in other words, that no spouse could be expected to enjoy the sight, and the necessity of doing so was to be pitied. Is that a fair guess…

Some other data points are people getting frustrated in this thread. Other data points are the reason this thread started – multiple people who want the Pit to be shut down from the thread that spawned this one.
