Hijacking discussions - aye or nay

I’ve only minded, and it’s not like it happens often, when it’s about something very personal to me. I was talking about one of Hudson’s illnesses once, and a lady who had studied that particular ailment in school started to answer all the replies in my discussion before I could get to them. While she studied something in school, I was talking about a real life person I loved and experienced life with. I was kind of put off because I was not speaking in the abstract (this was about two years ago). You actually responded to a FourWalls post the other day, and your response almost sent me down the hijack road. But I told myself this was not meant directly for me, and I’m not going to do it. But she wouldn’t have cared! And knowing which post you’re talking about, I doubt that person would have minded either. After all, you were the first person I thought of when I saw the news about the massacre.

If you ever want to hijack any of my discussions, please feel free. I can always answer under your answers. (I used to hijack discussions all the time. ) I have seen people delete everything I said on their discussion, though. *shrug* That's totally up to them.

I really dont mind it. You can literally takeover someones post if you have knowledge about a topic and you havent violated any mylit rules.

I remember that happening to me some years ago but not recently. Sometimes weird things happen in our cyber world.

Joining in on a comment is not a violation and many do. I am sure it would have not been necessary to delete your comments.

Sometimes I'm a little put off if I make a comment and they don't respond as they are intent on speaking to each other. Other than that, I don't mind much.

I could care less. If it's under your discussion you still get the points for it

@judyev I feel unreasonably miffed sometimes when I’ve been left out in a conversation started on my post by others. I don’t think it matters but I’d prefer it if they’d just write a post of their own. But then it was my post that sparked this other conversation. And if it results in more pennies I’m ok with it.

I hope I have the idea for this site correct. To me, its not too take over a post by answering but to be friendly and if somebody says something of interest, I jump into the thread. I hope that is neighborly and not ruining somebody's day. I totally understand why you would say something about that atrocity.

I don't mind seeing people responding to comments on my posts.

I join in when I feel a compelling urge to add my input. I know some may not take kindly to such "intrusions" while others may just accept them - not sure wthether they welcome them.
