    De-railing a conversation is a very well recognized form of logical fallacy. De-railing a thread is considered very poor etiquette on internet forums. I'm sorry for assuming we were having a conversation about the topic of the thread.

      De-railing

      One person's derailing is another person's continuing and/or expanding.

      I’m sorry for assuming we were having a conversation about the topic of the thread.

      I accept your apology.
