Spent a short time here and got banned for 'trolling' for teasing these stupid kids after they started reporting me en masse to the mods. The entire website definitely leans left, but this "BBQ pit" forum in particular is just a SJW hivemind of autists and basement dwellers a la "Gamerghazi" with almost nothing in the way of intelligent discussion despite Straight Dope being the official website of a Chicago Q&A column.
It's ridiculously easy to troll them, just post anything factual that disagrees with whatever lunatic fringe narrative, or just read their circle-jerk threads for plenty of unintentional comedy. If I find any particularly 'lulzworthy' posts I might show them here, but enjoy:

If you plan on not getting banned, then just avoid any 'ad hom' and just post factual information; the site has a loose 'no trolling' policy which they exploit by mass reporting you "trolling" until the mods finally ban you (despite them making personal attacks non-stop themselves), but as long as you post legitimate links and information there's nothing they can do about it.
