Here is your response.

No. I like this thread just fine.  Glad to see Dino isn't cowed by repetitive, baseless accusation either.
And it is not "gauche" to introduce IDF shooting of hostages into a thread about the murder and rape of hostages--unless there is some unstated
rule that Israel cannot be criticized and only Hamas can be a danger to hostages--not Israeli bombing or intentional targeting of civilians.
Might as well try to restrict discussion to GERMAN hostages, since that is in the thread title.

Underlined and bolded for you in case you need the assistance.  As blatant an admission of deliberate hijacking as you'll see.

No. This is just evidence of a refusal to be ordered about, not an "admission" of any sort.
"I'm hijacking this thread" would be a "blatant admission."

Notice I was glad Dino wasn't cowed by baseless accusation either. 
That's in reference to your "highjacking" assertion.  

And free speech does have something to do with dodging arguments, if the
goal of censorship is to prevent other views from being heard,
the goal of your on the German hostage thread, and others as well. 

The guy who regularly calls me a "liar" and "terrorist supporter" and
demands I answer his questions won't respond to mine because I am "unpleasant"?
