As I have been reading through various blogs, forums, Tweets, etc. about education, I have noticed something interesting and somewhat frustrating. A great conversation is going along with people offering great insights, and out of nowhere, someone diverts into their own topic. In some cases, the conversation simply takes a turn and people go with it. In other cases, the original poster or someone else in the conversation tries to gently redirect the conversation back to its original intent. In some cases, I have seen things get pretty ugly when the "highjacker" refuses to back down. Just to clarify, I don't mean they are "highjaking" to "sell" a product or service. They simply use the platform/audience to spread their own agenda.What is teh best way to deal with these people?
