I was pitted. My response was less than eloquent. Before I could compose a more eloquent response the thread was closed. (That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.) Years later I caught my pitter espousing what he pitted me for. I brought him to task for it in the Pit. The thread was promptly closed. No explanation. I asked a [question in ATMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=485423). The thread was closed. No explanation. I asked another [question in ATMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=485594). Closed. More than closed. I was issued yet another mark on my “Permanent Record” via private message for admitting that I laughed at a moderator’s umbrage that he found a simple “Yes” or “No” question confusing. Even a moderator can be a jerk. ---
