I'm completely and totally against this policy. But I've learned not to bitch. Just wanted to state my opinion.

You haven't done anything against this policy, even on SClassic, so I don't know why you're worried.

If you're being honest, then I might just retract my previous statement. It's possible I haven't witnessed the kind of topic derailing that prompted this decision, since I don't go to all the boards here. In any case, from what I have seen, there isn't much of a problem, which is why I said I was against it.

I think it's more to do with instances like the "anything you want to admit to" thread, because we all have something that we'd like to get off our chest in a more anonymous setting. But when you're posting replies like "I once fucked a seahorse for the hell of it. Ahahah!~" then it's obvious you're not even pretending to take it seriously, which is just as disrespectful as turning a thread about sexuality into a lemonparty/dickgirl fest.

And as for you not having to worry, I agree because, frankly I don't think I've seen you post in a serious thread since about '05, so there's nothing to derail in the first place =P

I said I was 3 ducks in a man costume in the "admit" thread. :P

Intelligent discussion will always deviate because issues are never simple monoliths. Forcing people to always keep "On topic" will mean we have to ignore side discussions that may be vital to the main discussion. This is not an opinion, but a fact.

To give backup to this, I shall site rules 25 and 26 of the internet:

25. Relation to the original topic decreases with every single post
26. Any topic can easily be turned into something totally unrelated
