If I report something and nothing happens, I assume mod knows best and move on. Yes, I am aware of that. Since I never got any feedback, I was curious why the declined to close it. Considering threads tend to get closed once they get derailed like that. I’m under no illusion that the thread in question will be moved or closed. ---

So, what defines “off topic”? For example, suppose you start a thread about a particular article of clothing, say a certain style of men’s pants, that disgusts you. I respond that it’s the newest thing and originated in France via a certain famous clothier, and I expand the conversation to all of his designs in general. Is that “off topic”, or is it “on topic” because it is somewhat related to the OP? I think we have to appreciate the fact that things aren’t black and white or clear-cut in many cases, and moderators are stuck with making the decisions that may not be at all easy to make in certain cases. When people assume the position of “armchair quarterback”, they all think of themselves as Tom Brady. Try modding for real and see what it’s like. ---
