I like traffic lights but not when they are red.

 

No I like it very much

not at all.....it's natural to do so. but the mods are very upset when it happens

If it's done deliberately to derail a thread, yes.

If it's just a natural progression, as a conversation might segue from one topic to another, no.

The ability to read minds would help to determine intent .

the intent is usually obvious, despite feigned innocence, especially when done by serial derailers.

"Serial derailers" that sounds pretty serious.

I agree with Clair, I don't mind off topic comments in a thread.
.

no not serious, just annoying - like gnats.

being told I was off topic 3 times this morning makes me a serial derailer?
