Yes it is disrespectful, but not in any way out of line. Sick to death of topics getting hijacked year after year. THAT is disrespectful.

Attacking someone for being off-topic is out of line.

All you had to do was say something like "Hey, can we please get back to the original topic?" and that would have been more than sufficient.

It's the nature of any online discussion that they deviate from the original topic, from time to time. It's just like conversing with someone in real life: topics drift and change.

It's not disrespectful to respond to a point brought up by another poster. Someone else brought up Sauron. Let me backtrack a bit and find that post... Oh, here it is:

So you're complaining and attacking someone over talking about a character YOU brought up and addressing a point that YOU made.

You are saying it's disrespectful to respond to something you said.

Also, more than one person, INCLUDING YOU, continued the original side-discussion on Sauron -- yet you attacked only one person.

I mentioned that, in an aside, 4 years ago!!! I did not say - Hey everyone, lets talk about Tolkien for the next decade.

Clearly I should have know that mentioning something would completely screw over any on topic conversation.

**** it. I'm done. Delete my ****ing account here.

And this topic has obviously run its course.
