For me there a couple different kinds of derails..
The first is a natural progression of questions or comments... The thread takes on it's own life.... The second is when a group of people come in to play... The first, for me is organic and I just go with the flow (most of the time, I've found you can't make people talk about what YOU want to talk about if they are on another track) The second one kinda pisses me off... Yes, I get that sometimes people are trying to lighten the thread (I've even done it myself) but when it goes on for several pages and the org topic is gone and it's turned into a wit and banter thread.. well it's frustrating and I just leave..

Right there with ya. I can't stand it when the original thread turns in to an infighting match either. Drives me nuts. I have bantered with others in a thread to lighten it up, but then got back on track myself. It can be frustrating to find a really good thread get totally lost and derailed and it stop. I hate that.

Pictures of dogs having sex with ducks kinda derails make me itchy... Other than that, I can push it to the side and move forward.

I like derails.
Sometimes the most interesting info is found in the off-topic tangents. I always wonder why people get so upset. What's stopping them from going in and posting something about the original topic? |

I don't really mind the derails, unless they are mean or someone comes in and just vomits their own unrelated issues on a positive thread which then makes it uncomfortable for anyone else to post.
Oh yeah, andddddd I especially hate it when someone comes in and starts correcting grammar and spelling and they say stuff like they can't concentrate because someone spelled "a lot" "alot". It makes me wonder if maybe being a good speller is all they have going on in their lives. Something recently I have noticed is people questioning or ridiculing original posters for starting treads at all. Maybe it has always gone on? If someone starts a thread, then they probably are looking for some sort of answer. Some of the funniest threads ever have been derails.  I love you guys man!

The most annoying derails, to me, are when two (or more) posters use a thread for their own personal conversation. I have no problem if the conversation is on topic...but when its stuff that has nothing at all to do with the thread...it irks me.

mostly i ignore a derail unless it's hateful and ignorant, however on topic--to me, that's the worst kind of derail.
