Not like you did not participate in that off-topic.
Funny that you complain about what other people do, while doing it yourself. Having double standards is so convenient, that you can be a complete X while calling other people X and not realize the stupidity of your self. (insert whatever for X - here it’s off-topic or thread hijacker)
You might recall I made an explicit attempt to steer the conversation back on track very early on from irrelevant semantic discussion (post #25):
I participated a bit afterward in hopes that it would go back on track. It didn’t. So now why should I take the thread seriously? Not even OP is taking his own thread’s original purpose seriously - he accepts this thread for what it has become: a mud pit.
Now that the thread is a mud pit… might as well get dirty. Not much of a double standard if the standards for the thread itself were lowered. Anyway, I’m just amused - and not at all surprised - as to who the guilty parties are in repeatedly, irreparably derailing this thread.

Place Your Bets! Which moderator will be the one to close this thread?
Yeah, that’s called trolling and not doing constructive posts.
Which are against the rules.
Also topic derailing when you admit the discussion has derailed already but then proceed to claim I am wrong - without making any argument in that sense, which is incidentally spam.
So you are consciously derailing the thread, trolling, spamming the forum. It’s conscious because “you know what you are doing”.
You know all about it, don’t you? You repeatedly ask ISD to ban people from the forums for throwing insults around when you yourself are evenly guilty of this behaviour.
Also, when are we going to have a infinite time blocking feature ? It’s good that it’s became 6month instead of … whatever it was, but when people clearly lack the ability to bring anything to the construction, they won’t ever change and there is no point in unblocking them after 6 months.
I would imagine ISDs eventually ignore members who repeatedly tag them/flag posts AND whose tags/flags ended up being a complete and total waste of their time
Imagine crying to the moderators over and over. What a crybaby.
For what it is worth, I rather enjoyed the little debate about dynamic memory allocation, and was not surprised to see that Geten doesn’t know half as much as she thinks she does.
I got a better idea: @ISD_Dorrim_Barstorlode these people are obviously trolling each other, can you just whack the last 100 post right off the thread and if they don’t stop give them a posting vacation?
I would say the CSM is a sandbox failure since you basically either get the same people every time or are always getting from the same group every time.
At this point and this many years is there any surprise left in what the perspective of these players are? How many years do CCP employees have to hear the same things from the same people before they know what next year is going to be or the year after or the year after that?
