People can make a thread about the price of apples and at anytime it can turn into 3 pages of the same small group addressing each other with pointless sexual repartee that just jumps from one thread to another, from one forum to another. Here is a thread that could have been half decent but couldn't get past one page withour getting crapped up (it usually takes to page 2 or 3):

I don't think it's the intention to turn the thread into "sexual things" although I agree that maybe sometimes personal conversations can over take threads. However I don't think you can categorise this into one groups of people, this group aren't the only people that ever turn into threads into more personal shiz and it doesn't happen often. I just think it's unfair for you to pin it all on this one "handful of people".

	"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."
