Daye, your point is perfectly valid, and generally helpful. But you really, really need to chill out. Derailing does not end the world. Here, it is harmless, I know you've said that it doesn't really apply in this thread, but that simply makes you a hypocrite. Why post in this thread if what you're saying doesn't apply to it, eh? You're frustrated because threads keep getting derailed, cool. PM, report, complain about it in the threads you care about. You don't need to burst into a thread where everyone - including the OP - is perfectly happy and the atmosphere is hugely friendly just to throw a wobbler and insult everyone.
And then despite everyone being hugely respectful, you continue to completely lack a sense of humour and threaten everyone. Maybe you need to take a second and remember that we're here to enjoy ourselves, not fluff ourselves up with delusions of importance and throw our weight around needlessly.
Whe- .. I ... Eh ... Bu- .. Hmm .. You're right.
I know it does not. I know it's harmless. I just, as stated think it's really ruining a good thread. And I .. I guess I thought it would be better to put it out in a thread like this - a thread with no real purpose, thus not destroying the last bit of the threads I enjoy.
And .. Yes. You're right, It was terribly mean of me to do so. And for that I apolegize. But what it was that mainly triggered it was more the participants involved, rather than what it was doint to the thread. Like Mastrus something and Neonbob are frequent derailers. ANd if I told them off here, they might have possibly listened to me, without me having to rant off ina better thread. AS that would do more damage than it would do good, I guess.
I can see how you think that everyone has been hugely respectful. But that doesn't apply to
everyone. Not even in this thread. AS you can see there has been at least a couple that has brushed off whatever I said with a shrug, and told people to completely disregard it. And if you're able to keep yourself calm even though people are completely ignoring everything you say, as well as telling other people to do so. Then all the more power to you. I'm afraid I do not possess this power - not yet anyway
