> [@Fenris](#): > > And _again_–and I’ll keep repeating this every time it’s brought up incorrectly, the _only_ instruction I got from Tomndebb was that I was to not respond to Liberal on that specific topic. The so-called “hijack” that Liberal continued to make even after I was forbidden from talking about it This is exactly spot on. Let’s go straight to the mod post in question: The only bit of instruction to **Fenris** : > [@The Aesthetical Jesus - Part IV](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-aesthetical-jesus-part-iv/499898/61): > > You’ve made your point, now back off of the hijack. And to me: > [@](#): > > Hijacking the thread and hurling insults to contest a rather minor point is not going to be permitted. If you feel that the matter is more important, open a separate thread to debate it. Note that the “insult” in question was to condemn **Lib** ’s cry of “threadshitting” as dishonest and cowardly. **Tom** then continues: > [@](#): > > I would also acknowledge that I find his sidebar discussion unfortunate in that it provides an opportunity for folks with differing views to voice them in the middle of a different discussion. So he is very specifically and with full knowledge of what he’s doing calling direct responses to **Lib** ’s post hijacks. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-liberal-allowed-to-use-gd-as-a-personal-blog/503924)._
