it is most definitely NOT derailing if you riff off somebody else's post and ponder it in your own journal. going off on a tangent is derailing if you do it in the same conversation. but if you're not inserting your comments in the original conversation, you're no longer on the same train; you switched at the last station. you're not derailing anything.

of course if you leave the comment _and_ make it a post in your journal, yeah, then you are derailing. but just taking it elsewhere? hell, no.

people might still get hurt, of course. but that has nothing to do with derailing.
