You're right, and I try and only do it once the thread has been derailed by Person C.

In this thread though, I think it's totally fine to bash the movie, the topic is about making the sequel better than the first one.

I usually say something once the thread has been overrun by arguments of is it good or bad. I've tried, and others have tried to stay on topic, but the post is buried under people bashing each other for liking or not liking the movie in threads that have no reason to be discussing it.

And this will probably get me in trouble, but I don't really see any Mods doing anything. There was like two major purges a few weeks ago, and the thread turned right back into what they deleted.

I've admitted in other threads that have been derailed that I wasn't helping the thread by mixing it up with the people who are off topic, but like I already said I try and do that once the topic is lost.

And I'm not policing your caterwauling. I'm not a mod, I'm not trying to be a mod, but I'm not telling you that you can't do anything. I'm simply questioning the need for it. The few of you that do this over and over, it's like you travel in packs the same 3 or 4 people show up to trash one person's opinion and derail the thread.

This is the only message board I go to, so maybe I am this way because you all are used to it at this point, and I just see it as counter productive. Maybe I'll just get used to it and accept it and have my comments, and other's comments just lost in the debris of opinion fights.
