Yes, it was derailing. However my point was that if someone derails a thread with a point you disagree with, you tend to label it "derailing", but if its something you agree with, it doesn't register as derailing. Selective outrage.

Mine brain is working fine enough to point out this basic issue of bias that should be obvious.

You might have a point if you were only guilty of the occasional derailment. Unfortunately you are notorious for it, and often determined enough to see any derailment as far as it will go. Then, you make another one.

You're not going to let this one end either, are you?

You're back to running around in circles, blind rabbit. A derailment is a derailment.

Having only read the third page of this thread so far, I would like to suggest that there are others just as guilty of perpetuating the derailment of this thread as Steelrails. I can't even tell what it's about anymore just looking at this page, and only one post belongs to him. I myself am now equally as guilty of derailing this thread!

I wish all these suggestions would come with examples. But you know what they say about wishes, which do connect with the OP.
