well, my experience says that where ever a forum has thread moderators doing this there is no natural progression, the conversations are narrowed down and complaints are numerous. What next? Do we calm down the tone of our language and refrain from personal comments?
I actually like AF for the open and free flowing conversation.
So what I've only been here for a couple of hundred posts, Adrian's a moderator and I've steered off topic course with him several times. I've also started several threads of side arguments for discussing with him to avoid a never ending thread.
The only problem I can see in taking on too many tangents in a particular thread is that a person might just bail and there's little you can say because at the end of the day you're probably so far off coarse that the thread might as well been titled "endless debate".
