No, SSDD.
He missed interesting conversation, looking for boring impeachment conversation.
Then create your own hockey topic, don't need derail a legitimate and relevant topic.
God no, I didn't let them talk hockey. Note the word ''interesting''.

I've gone back and edited my first post to warn people to skip to this page if they are looking for more on-topic discussion.

It is not legitimate or relevant. It's people arguing in circles, adding nothing of value, aside from trolling other forum members, and the last five pages are better than any of the trolling done in all the previous pages combined. If you want to go back to repeating yourself over and over again, ad nauseam, knock yourself out, but don't pretend that is somehow riveting content and this thread is precious, because it's fucking not. This thread being derailed was infinitely more entertaining than this thread "on the rails".

Can't we have a constantly derailed thread somewhere instead, call it a Pub or something, and a shorthand like "take it to the pub" to put in other threads when they start to drift?

Threads start to drift for a reason, the discussion goes stale, and then derailing breathes life back into the thread. Thread derailment is like a phoenix down, quit your hating. If you want to quarantine all the good discussion in one thread, there is no more sure fire way to kill a thread than that.

If this thread is so boring to you then why even bother posting in it? Do you think that your endlessly commenting on it being boring is any less "retarded" as you put it many pages ago? You complain about repeated posts while repeating yourself. At least our posts are on topic.

Have you seen the dwindling participation in this forum? Your shitposting is not breathing life into anything. It's driving people away, and the discussion here is the worse for it.

Just saving the thread, go back to ruining it by continuing to repeat the same points over and over again with brewster. Boredom loving fun hater.

We had a moderator who did that once. Moved off-topic conversations elsewhere. Shit really hit the fan.
Not a bad idea in theory but I bet it just wouldn't happen in practise.
Also, Smitty is his own man. Doesn't take orders unless you outrank him.
Only Hash outranks him here and he's an absentee landlord at the moment.
