ORIGINAL: HannahLynHeather quote:
I think it's rude to the OP and anyone still interested in what the original topic was. if you want to talk further about the fucking topic, do so. how the fuck do the jokes and banter prevent that? I tend to read the entire thread before posting on it. I don't want to waste my time scrolling through several pages of sidebar bantering just to find where the actual on-topic conversation picks back up. I'll end up just closing the thread and not commenting on it. Do you often enter other people's real-time conversation and entirely change the subject? I understand often times real-time conversations change course, but when you're in an online forum, there's more people involved in that conversation/topic then just the people sidebar bantering in it. And it becomes a little awkward when, 3 pages later when the actual topic has pretty much been forgotten about, to drop a comment about the OP in it. I'm not saying it's not doable, I'm just saying I think it's rude to take a conversation about a particular topic so off course. I think people don't consider other posters when indulging in endless banter. quote:

But finding 3 or so pages of casual bantering could easily prevent them from adding anything, at that point. why? See above.
