I’m always impressed with the way people wield passive-aggression to complain about conversations following the natural ebb and flow that conversations naturally tend to have. The next time you’re hanging around talking with a few people, jot down the time and topic the conversation starts with. Then see if you’re talking about the same thing in thirty minutes.
But then, I doubt you’ll take people to task for ‘derailing’ the conversation by… you know… conversing.
Such monsters we are, that talking about one topic leads into talking about another in a natural, organic way that occurs literally every damned day all over the cluster.
I swear, I am so damned tired of the damned chat police lecturing people about daring to actually talk to one another like human beings, instead of following some pre-ordained script handed down by your most holy selves about what is and isn’t appropriate to talk about.
And now, @Aradina_Varren, I suppose this wasn’t laid back at all. But hey, trial and error assumes some error, right?
