[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8355470, member: 93670"] Take that bolded example. Frequently someone will make a debated suggestion & discussion will begin on the pros & cons of the suggestion only to have a new poster(alice) jump in decrying a particular point made in that dscussion void of the critically important context of the suggestion only to have yet another poster (bob but sometimes alice) run even further from the context of the suggestion by further dragging it away through focusing on an isolated sentence or few words in someone's post explaining how that specific bit is only relevant in the context of the discussion on pros & cons of the suggestion to be now two steps removed from relevance to [I]anything[/I]. It's a "debate" strategy employed extensively by the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party']50 cent army[/URL] to drag discussions away from undesired topics. That resukts in the discussion being mired in distracting noise that ensures they get lost and ignored due to being hard to follow. [/QUOTE]
