I posted a thread about what I thought was a cringeworthy video from the CIA.  By the 2nd page it had already turned into a discussion about white supremecy and Donald Trump.

You yourself commented on the thread without even watching the video, went off topic and then said something to the effect of "I'm just trying to poke a little fun." 

The phrase "pot meet kettle" seems a little appropriate here.  And even if it's not apples to apples, I still would hope see some consistency.  Either this forum has a strict "stay on topic" policy that is understood and followed by everyone, or we let things fly, and don't pick and choose to when to call it "trolling".

My sniping in that thread was on topic, and my later comments on the different topic came after it had already completely derailed. Many times we will see topics derail and morph into other topics, usually it is a gradual transition that starts off related to the original topic and ends up in left field. The comment I responded to here was unrelated other than it being Texas and came from someone who regularly comments with bad faith arguments. It's a thread I started, I decided to respond to the troll job, just as you commented on the derailment of your thread.

Anyway, if you feel like commenting on the topic at hand, feel free. If you want to continue to discuss the way in which your thread was derailed, you can go to your thread. If you want to complain in general about the forum, start another or talk to a mod.
