Public Service Announcement:
As you have demonstrated, there is absolutely no reason to let anyone’s assertions go unchallenged in a thread hijack. You know how to do this, but for others who don’t:
Open a new topic and title it how you want. Example: “Refuting the Statements Made by Sam Stone in the ‘Does Jack Smith Have Any Recourse if Judge Cannon Gives Him No Prison Time?’ Thread”. Or do it exactly like @Ann_Hedonia has done here in Sam’s Pit thread! Personally, I’d open a new thread in the original forum, as it will be more widely read.
In your first post in your new topic, copy the link from the post you are challenging from the original thread and paste it into your new thread. Do this by clicking on the time stamp in the upper right hand corner of every post made on the board. This will create a link-back to the original post you wish to discuss without disrupting or continuing the hijack in that original thread.
Discuss.
Easy peasy.
We are not trying to discourage discussion, only keep threads to their original stated topics.
