Thread Hijacking:
The act of taking over a thread on a message board by taking a part of the original posted topic, twisting it around and "hijacking" the thread itself. What happens is that the original content contained in the post becomes moot and whatever the "thread hijacker" has manipulated the content to be becomes the new content thereby "hijacking" the original intent of post. People now respond to the "thread hijacker's" input and the that becomes the focus of the thread.
