> [@pervert](#): > > Have we hijacked the hijack thread enough? 🙂 “If a thread is hijacked in the wilderness…” Ok, I better stop. It’s just I never have the opportunity to do these because someone else has always already beaten me to the punch. Besides, I’m on a roll today. 🙂 My apologies to **Lib**. But maybe this’ll help you in providing an example. Another one. 😉😛 ---

**Aldebaran** , did you just make two posts with jokes at your own expense? To wit: > [@](#): > > I find this funny to read because it is something I could have written. and > [@](#): > > I take no hijack to be a great succes if there are not one or more of the following ingredients mixed into it: > > Islam. … I have not seen you do that before. I salute you. Bravo! ---

**Moderator’s Note:** I don’t know if the topic of “thread hijacking” could support a debate or not–perhaps IMHO?–but the OP of this thread has way too much discussion of who said what in a specific Pit thread for this to work as a Great Debates thread.
