Talk about thread hijacking.

If you want me to I will happily talk about thread hijacking.

Thread hijacking is where a person, or small group, enter a discussion of one topic, and force it onto another to suit his/her/their own agenda. A good example might be where a thread is posted about the oppression of religion which currently takes place in the United States, this discussion rationally would take in consideration of other countries and their relatively benign attitude to public displays of religion (for example good old blighty, mother of all free nations). The hijack could very easily then occur with a rampant anti-British, or anti-Monarchy type wading in and attacking the very basis of that prevailing benign view of religion (the British Monarchy).

Was that enough about thread hijacking. I've got to dash, my supper is ready, I may be able to pick this up later.

God Save the Queen, and love live the trans-Atlantic alliance.
