I read the thread. Hijack by **SA** , and each \*\*SA \*\*post was yet another repetition of the same old, same old. I was just skipping over them because I’ve seen it all before. It was a distraction, but then, that’s a common result of **SA** ’s postings – distract the thread, make it all about something or some things else, and leave the OP hanging out to dry. I was pleased to see him stifled before it got any farther out of control.

Plus what he actually said was

> [@The very overdue pitting of Susanann](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-very-overdue-pitting-of-susanann/590032/104):
>
> \<snip\> Well, since it’s you, and you asked nicely and all, I’ll back out _ **for now** _.

(emphasis mine)

Anybody who thinks the above indicates that \*\*SA \*\*actually intended to leave the thread, or was making some kind of honest commitment to cease his hijack, hasn’t read many threads wherein \*\*SA \*\*participates.
