Let's define "hijacking discussions" first.

Sometimes a thread goes into a completely different direction without being hijacked. Just look at some of the long long threads we had in the past.

Best thing to do when someone seems to try to hijack a thread, ignore them.

That's ridiculous.

After all, everybody knows there's no god, that evolution is a lie perpetrated by apes so we won't know how smart they really are and put them to work, that the World Trade Center was never attacked, just moved into a parallel dimension, that Democrats are devil spawn and that Republicans are mold.

Given the high level of consensus, what's to hijack?

Mmm, seems the 'hijacking' thread is already hijacked by strawberry conversations I'm afraid.

Too highbrow for me. Best I can do is "Tupelo Tendency".

A whopping five and a half posts before radical divergence. The half being Dino's who is on topic in parody.

And if we are passing syndromes around I'll take a mild case of tourrettes please. A medical excuse for my tendency towards twitching and profanity would be nice. Being crass and overly caffeinated only works for so long.

For me it depends entirely on how much the original poster is willing to pay for the safe return of their thread.

I'll see your kitten and raise you a lamb, a bear, several kittens, mice, puppies, and even a o'possum.

I've taken this thread hostage. It is in a bag tied to the top of the flagpole.

I'm going to blow it up at midnight if I don't get my THREE DEMANDS!

1) I want a million dollars.
2) I want a getaway car.
3) I want the letter 'M' completely striken from the English language.

You always make one crazy demand so, if you are caught, you can claim insanity. Pfft! Getaway car!

(Apologies to Steve Martin.)
