How is it derailing the conversation? Are we keeping you from having your arguments in other branches of the comment section?

Why should there be a section for people who want to talk about the aspects you want to talk about, but not a section for stuff I and others want to talk about?

I understand you might not like to click on a chess article to find something else being discussed. Well, that happens to all of us in different ways. The way I deal with it is, I simply skip the comment branches that I don't care for.

Attention is a finite resource, and stuff like this sucks it up like a sponge.
