Thread Jacking [Hijacking a thread]

[rosamarta]

There is a message elsewhere on the web about my use of the word Hijack/-er/-ing as being offensive and insensitive. Get real! Post Hijacking [thread jacking] is a common term in online forums. I'm writing this here on www.gtolist.com so I can post some URL's [a no no on that other list] and I don't want to have to stand in the corner again.

Hi Rosa Marta,

Hi Sweetie, I appreciate your incredibly good intentions in defending and protecting my message. I realize that we may still be hurt from the experience in the other blog but, I hope we can let it go. My personal feeling is that Gregg did not mean any harm and I really hope we don?t start another public display of emotions on my behalf. I?d like to keep this private, even though we can do it freely, and publicly here. Thanks for all the info provided with the links. Very informative. I learned something today! XOXOXO

Martha
