Yes. It's a cut-and-paste of the same comment made in other threads, and you didn't even bother to pretend to tie it into the topic of the article being discussed.

I could go into an illegal immigrant thread and post facts about the Israeli-Palistinian conflict. But those facts would have nothing to do with illegal immigration, and would be hijacking.

Or I could do some real work, and post facts about the Israeli-Palistinian conflict and add some pithy commentary about how Isreal's problems stem from it's trying to be accomadating to Palistinians living within it's borders -- thus tying it to the illegal immigration thread.

Then it would advance the discussion, instead of sidetracking it.

If we are talking about Giuliani's crime program in New York, along with the theory that his fast poll rise could reach a reverse tipping-point, a repost of an article about Rudy's abortion stance is not germaine to the topic of the thread, and is a hijack of the discussion.

If you want to write your own original opinion about how his abortion stance will, when advertised appropriately to the right people, cause a "tipping point" reaction among evangelicals, that would be a valuable addition, and if that post included selected quotes from an article discussing Rudy's stance that would be facts in support of your opinion on the issue discussed in the thread.

But reposts of tables of Rudy's positions just clutter the threads, they don't contribute to the conversation.

I disagree. Many do not know the truth and I regularly get thanked by them for bring the facts to the Rudy threads.
