I don't see how going off-topic can be prevented. It happens in real life discussion ... people digress ... then go back to the original subject.
It seems at present there just aren't enough people who are willing to put the time and energy into keeping some of these discussions going. Not enough "iron" anymore I guess. Or enough energy or interest.
I know we have people posting who are good thinkers, intelligent and articulate. Perhaps it's that we've already gone over many of these things already .... same people posting the same things and responding to the same issues. |
I think there's a difference in what you are talking about and what Tina said. You are right, most threads will get off topic, but usually comes back around.
What I read from Tina's post is those that start "making light" or joking with the poster causing a defensive type posting necessary completely breaking down the discussion.
