Wtf? This gets you a warning these days? > [@Conservative beer?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conservative-beer/982671/42): > > Warning issued, Bumping an old thread to take it on a hijack with Rowling is a bit much. Do you actually return to the board to just stir up shit? That is the question I’ll be asking the modloop shortly. Meanwhile, I think this thread can stay closed. It was apparently done before this bump & hijack move. Sure I don’t drop by every day but I thought the Dylan Mulvaney thing was topical and worthy of discussion. ---

Bringing JK Rowling into it was not reasonable. To me, you seem to have a knack for showing up once in a while and basically stirring crap up. As I mentioned, I bumped this up to the Modloop. Your past record and clear and obvious hijack was good reason for a warning. ---

Hijack? Rowling’s? Past record? Are you kidding? Rowling’s never became the central focus of that discussion. She was just an example of a liberal that had different ideas about trans issues. And since when was “stirring up shit” a bad thing here? If this isn’t the place for those sort of conversations them this is a very different place than it was a decade ago. I didn’t realize harmony was the goal. ---

The thread in question was just from last month! Is that now considered old? The topic is still in the fucking news how can it be old? Guessing when the op showed up the red flags went flying because reasons? ---

Correct, one of his posts were flagged as a hijack and when I looked at it, I saw a pretty clear hijack. If posters clamor to open the thread, I will do so after removing his posts and the replies to him. Just not sure where to move them. Preferably the cornfield. ---

That might have made sense. But no, there were a lot of jokes about beer, a brand labeled as “conservative” and some old beer stranger wants to get rid of. And then he bumped the thread to talk about Rowling and how poorly on the left hate trans people, too. It was an unexpected shift. ---

He was responding to a post about Budweiser which is a brand of beer too. ---

Which leads back to the question, why bring up JK Rowling? Oh, Happy Birthday, BTW. ---

Someone pegged the trans issues as left vs right and I was pointing out that it’s wasn’t. In fact I go so far as to explain thec reference to Rowling’s in one of my posts. ---

I hope you’re kidding. I drop by every few months when I am interested in what folks here think about things and now it sounds like these conversations are no longer welcome there. ---

Oh, I don‘t want to just get rid of it. I want someone to suffer for the fact that it has been sitting under my sink for eight years because I’m too embarrassed to even take it out to the dumpster. I want to punish someone with it, preferably by appealing to their own hubris, and rebranding it as a “Conservative treat” would make my journey worthwhile. Stranger ---

Is Rowling left? Is that an assumption, or has she demonstrated that? What makes it a Left/Right thing is that only right wingers even bring it up, let alone get all riled up about it. ---
