Come to think of it, I’ve actually been [anti-Pitted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=179641) (or whatever the correct term for this type of thread is). Universally loved and respected, yes – but also quite, quite vain. 😛 ---

Funny how that OP mentions vanity searches, **jr8** … you can’t do any yourself! ---

I reckon I’m about 1 post shy of a pitting - and I’ve only been here about 2 weeks… I wonder who will be the first ? ---

Missed what was said earlier about wildcards. Trouble is, that might work for you, but a wildcard search on **Kat** brings up a zillion threads… Kate Bush, Katharine Harris, etc… ---

I can’t remember being pitted. ---

Not at 3,000 yet, but if I was pitted I didn’t notice. ---

I am proud to report that I still have my pit. ---

When you say “pitted” do you mean having your very own “You Suck” thread in the pit, or just having been flamed in a thread for your responses? ---

I mean a thread aimed directly at you. A lot of people can say something in a thread that upsets someone else, but it takes a little extra effort to have a whole thread directed atcha. ---

I haven’t figured out yet whether I’m inoffensive or just forgettable. I lean more toward the latter because, while I’ve never been Pitted, I’ve never been mentioned in a “Favorite Posters” thread, either. ---

Although I have been told to fuck myself a few times, I have never been pitted. I’m usually inoofensive AND forgettable. ---

Someone should make that a sig line so **spooje** won’t feel so forgettable (let alone inoofensive!). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/raise-your-hand-if-youve-never-been-pitted/177639.md?page=4)
