Is this the first time a pittee has come to the pitting to demonstrate exactly why the pitting was so richly deserved? ---

Pretty much every time a person is pitted, and they come to their own thread, that’s what happens. Except in the rare case that the person who starts the thread is the real asshat and [it all backfires](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-doc-cathode/946680). ---

> [@Max\_S](#): > > I’d think if you are drunk and drive you are more likely to get in an accident, and this outweighs any potential marginal benefit to being drunk when you get hit. I think that it’s more a matter that the dunk person is doing the hitting, and you are much more likely to survive a front end crash than being T-boned. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > it all backfires Max is a sealion. I’m not sure if he’s doing it consciously - that would require some awareness of self and others, which doesn’t appear to be in evidence. But whether it’s intentional or not, the effect is the same. It’s the living archetype of the “well, actually” guy, played out with endless exhausting repetition. I’ve found there’s zero point in engaging. ---

Antisemites in the '30s and '40s may have treated Jews as a race. But modern-day antisemitism, the kind still clinging to a Jewish conspiracy and the like, that’s not based on genetics at all. ~Max Rules lawyering the Holocaust! ---
