Does it bother you if threads go off topic?

[donnashuggy]

Or if people make off topic posts in threads?

Apparently so, twinkles lol

Twinks, those who tell other posters that constantly are the derailers ...they attempt to control

they are also off topic when they tell you that 

[just_me_karen]

I agree, Iza.

It's not normal for people to stick completely to topic during social conversations...an aside here and there is the norm. Imagine having someone constantly telling you to get back to discussing the weather haha how soon would they be Nigel no-friends.

its also not socially the norm for someone to butt into an established conversation to take over with totally unrelated ramblings.

[izabsmiling]

is the topic about a public discussion board or a private conversation ?

[twinkles**stars]

iza.....I was told by a mod not another poster. made me lol

[izabsmiling]

Twinks, made me write a letter 

[crystal**flake]

Nope, couldn't care less.

Seems a bit over the top moderating a friendly conversation in the middle of a thread. Perhaps I should forward this thread to them???

No I don't mind at all, it's an unrealistic expectation to take part in a chat forum and not stray off topic at some stage.

Like, someone may be chatting about the price of milk, and from the topic of the price of milk, we could also talk about the price of batteries, or bob's.

Silly rule!
