A person who comments on a thread dedicated to a topic they pretend to abhor but secretly find fascinating, if for no other reason than they are compelled to act out a deep-seated impulse to be a total opinionated douche bag. This condition is often coupled with bitchitus and in some people can lead to chronic dickiness.
If one encounters a threadbear squatting on a site, it is best to let it shit then move on without interruption.

Alex offered me $200 for my $1000 bottle of bourbon, but I was wise to his threadschmidting ways.
Alex: “How about I buy that bottle off you for $250”.
Joe: “Man, you know it’s worth $1,000”
Alex: “But the wax is scratched”
Joe: “Quit threadschmidting with your scrawny ass.”

Look at how long this badminton status thread was going, until Brian commented this:
The best strategy is to try to hit the shuttlecock straight into the opponent's naughty places.
He sure is a thread killer!

Get the thread killer mug.When a person starts a posting on a message board, or forum, or Facebook, that others are able to comment on, that original posting and the comments on it are called a thread. A thread hijacking occurs when one or more individuals commenting on the original posting, go off topic, creating a separate conversation. This is rude, and bad internet etiquette. If people want to discuss a different topic, they should start their own thread.
Below is a thread, consisting of an original posting and comments on that original posting. They illustrate a thread hijacking.
original posting: I'm so excited that my cat has learned to use the toilet with City Kitty! The training seemed like it took forever, but it's so worth it to not have to deal with a litter box any more! Has anyone else done this?
comment 1: Ugh! I just started training my cat, but he can't seem to move beyond the orange stage. How'd you get through that?
comment 2: I'm training my dog at PetCo classes. She's very smart. She learns the commands faster than the other dogs.
comment 3: I'm training my dog in PetCo classes too. They have great trainers. They're patient with the dogs and the people.
Comments 2 and 3 are off topic and are hijacking this thread. The person who made comment 2 should have started their own thread. The person who made comment 3 is guilty of continuing the hijacking.
