> how would _you_ mod these discussions?

I would mod them in accordance with P&E policy to keep them on the given topic. More wide-ranging discussions are also possible in P&E. **[I started one myself](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-next-trump-administration-a-compendium-of-horrors/1009774)**. No one has been modded there for being off-topic AFAIK.

I do believe in some amount of organic shift in the conversation as a thread progresses, and I’ve said so before. But the point remains, IMHO, that someone joining a thread should not have to wonder WTF the discussion they wanted to participate in has become, where it has little to do with the original topic.
