<br />I see this very often, this single phrase in this forum, and I am starting to wonder about it. <br /> <br />What is off topic exactly is there a set topic? Can anyone define the word topic, and would the word path come into use? <br /> <br />If so, define the word path. <br /> <br />I find off topic rather odd, when there is no general consensus of how a conversation should begin, how it should go and end. <br /> <br />People put "off topic"; it has become evident, when the topic has nothing to do with Trains. <br /> <br />Does this precede the topic, for the simple fact that some people get angry when they open a topic and find it has nothing to do with trains. <br /> <br />If the above is true, I find it odd that these people would then even take the time to respond to the topic, if it upsets them so dearly- <br /> <br />So is this topic off topic, what is off topic, technically there has to be a topic to be off it, what is the topic? <br /> <br />Trains you might say? <br /> <br />Well the two topics that have little to nothing to do with trains are each 20 pages long- so are those classified as being off topic but acceptable? <br /> <br />Therefore, what is an unacceptable off topic conversation? <br /> <br />If the above statement is true, should this conversation then be used around the dinner table- is that the type of off topic we wi***o avoid? <br /> <br />Remember, I am not pin pointing anyone; these are just general questions. <br />Don’t take it personally, I'm just wondering, that’s all. <br />
