    A lot is being made of thread "derailment."

    What exactly does that mean?

    What does it look like? Pie recipes? Excessive us of picture memes? Too many Grumpy Cats and Willy Wonkas?

    It would help if some specific examples of thread derailment over the past couple of weeks could be linked to, so we're not just talking in hypotheticals.

    If John disagrees with you, he will derail your thread by posting a picture of pie. Then he will say disgusting things about raping or molesting you. Since it is gay, everyone else will pretend the molestation is his right.

    Derailing a thread is when gturner starts a thread and other people post in it. Gturner shouldn't have done that. It's against the rules.

    Interesting. This isn't a "call-out" thread. It's not targeting any specific member. Yet it got moved to the VR.

    Welcome to the new WF Normal.

    Their strategy right now is to try to ignore me. That, and they feel safe in their ability to act with impunity.
