I've seen multiple threads closed and posts 'mod-edited' because the content has strayed too far from the subject title. To say that the discussion goes where it will may be true. But it's always at least somewhat regulated. Hate speech, unfounded speculation on Flames' players personal lives, and poster insults are all examples that I can think of that require the invisible hand of CP moderation. So maybe it's a matter of degree... maybe what it is, is that nothing here is all *that* bad... and fair enough. I agree.
Keep in mind when it comes to "straying off topic" more leeway is given on the o/t board, then on the hockey board.

To put it another way - if we had just closed the thread when requested a pretty interesting discussion would not have happened.
