You could always download that topic blocker

Not the point.

Then why on Earth could you possibly care what's discussed? Do you want to know where other people hide their research? OK, the only research I've ever downloaded is in my laptop's recycle bin. Not much a hiding place, I admit, but wh'ever. Actually, thanks for reminding me I need to clear that out.

Why does a de-rail matter?

Then what is the point?

Not the point.

Just sayin

What? Why do I care what's being discussed? Make your own topic about the off-topic crap you're talking about.

Because it's not what this thread was about. And 100 pages of it?

That's why it matters.

Who cares what it started out being about. That's not what it's about now. Things change. Get over it. De-rails don't hurt you in any way. Obviously, if it was de-railed, the original discussion ran it's course. If it hadn't become this, the thread would have died. How is that any better?

Why do you keep asking me why I care? I care, because it's not only annoying, it's not what this topic is. Topic's don't "change topics" all of a sudden unless the OP changes them. Not sure where you thought of that. If the thread died, then it died on topic.

The OP has declared this thread as changed topic
But if we rename it to what everyone keeps describing it at, it'll get flamed by people whining about a word on their thread list

Not your thread. Not your choice. Since when did Blockland become a democracy?

it's literally a topic about hiding research

there's nothing meaningful or philosophical or useful about it in any way

I wasn't aksing you why you care. If it has a period, it's rhetorical. I didn't say it happened all of a sudden. I said that it happens. It happened gradually. Almost every "de-rail" can be followed as a logical discussion (to follow some, you'd have to be a part of outside conversations with the usual posters here, however). How is it dying on topic any better, though? Either way, the original discussion is over, but this way, a new discussion can blossom from the remains of the old. You sound like the kind of guy who would burn down his orchard and start a whole new one, instead of simply planting some new trees with the old.

I don't give a jarl WHY you care, because you shouldn't. It's ridiculous, and you're a control freak.


EDIT: And yeah, the OP declared this to be a different thread. Not that the OP's opinion should matter more than any other. He creates the thread, he doesn't rule it.

[Frontrox]

Oh god he did it, lol.
