Off topic if you are never on?
| I am seriously confused here. For example this little birdie was whispering to me the other day... steal...steal... but that isn't the point. The point is I was talking to this nice chap last quarter hour or so. He was telling me I went off topic on a thread I started that was never on topic. Is it like when you are down in the great immense alley and suddenly you are face with 7 equally bad choices and 1 good one, but are forced to choose the one that ends up leaving X amount of people out of the job? For reasons that I choose not to disclose right now I am really rattled. So I am here today to really put my spirit on the line here. Figuratively... Not literally you psychos... Anyway as I am here ranting waving my soul around like a flag, but not a white one. I never surrender... Less I lost. Though if you lose its best to never be found again. While walking down to the beech after being stranded in this valley for an ungodly amount of minutes you run into a duck. You are now debating if you need to eat within the next 7 seconds or whether you can ever be forgiven for this grievous act. So you stab the duck with sparring mental images of its dead self coming from your mind that manifested into a sharp pointy magical stick... HEY didn't see that one coming did you? My threads often flow to others. So the monkey was sitting on the bench staring at you as you try and ponder whether going off topic is truly horrible... For doesn't it cause the topic to continue to other more invigorating scenarios. Within reason of course. Funny thing though. I don't think I was ever on topic this thread. How silly is that... But from a viewpoint of you sitting there behind your screen. Judging if the drugs I am on (none by the way) are sufficient to help you feel better about yourself then you are a person I am glad to have discussing this fleeting topic that hopefully will evolve into the next one. Let us discuss! |

 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |

I don't tell you to stuff your opinion in a place that matters do I? The thread emphasizes the point, but the most important part of a discussion is what follows after anyway... You using acronyms at the start doesn't further the point and my bad it does come across as rude. Learn to etiquette. |

Just don't. yes that is exactly what I expected. You are also contributing to it by going off topic. Thank you for being insolent and thinking your high standards of point en point matter. |

No i post a problem within a story so that people who actually care will understand and get a laugh. I'm glad you are a dark depressing personality trait that enjoys looking for ways to put others down mate. |

| There is no substance, there is no context; no topic suggested, therefore nothing that comes after is out of topic, nothing is out of context, even talking specifically about a duck at this point would make more substance the the initial premise. |

The substance is the fact there is a lack of The Context is proving about how going off topic is going off topic The Topic suggested is previously stated What else do you wish to say? |

| The better question is: Can a thread sustain quality without going off topic? |
 |
| I didnt even bother to read. |
 |
| yeah |

KD7BWB said: Just fer fun, I'm going to take this seriously. Your topic is a straw man. You're suggesting that the personal view of being off topic outweighs the fact that somebody else proposed it (and therefore owns it) becomes a relevant point that outweighs the rights of the person who thought up the topic in the first place. Somebody else's ownership stays that way, regardless of your own thinking on the matter. This is not a logic question. It's a matter of principle. I understand, also thank you. So if you start off topic it counts as being off topic. So in that sense since you are already off all that can be done is to go back on topic. To the original posters point. Thank you for responding in kind with a serious view point. |
| If in your wall of text , you already demonstrate how going off topic is going off topic. So what do you want us to discuss without going off topic ourselves? |
Lazy said: If in your wall of text , you already demonstrate how going off topic is going off topic. So what do you want us to discuss without going off topic ourselves? Oh wow... I um thought this thread was like dead dead now. Heh. Not to go off topic, but to discus going off topic. |
