**Moderating:** This is a follow-up to @What_Exit’s moderation of @Der_Trihs above. Three P&E mods took time to review the post and have agreed unanimously that a warning should be issued. _As a stand alone post_, we might have let it slide with a note as we have _repeatedly_ done in the past, but @Der_Trihs has a history of posting screeds largely unrelated to the topic at hand including a post earning a warning for the same offense less than 30 days ago. @What_Exit had noted the thread only three hours prior about staying on topic, and while the post you were responding too was headed off topic, you chose to continue and _greatly_ amplify it. As such, this is an official Warning for Hijacking. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/leave-the-birthrate-alone/1029286)._
