A couple of people telling other people what 'they' thought was appropriate to post is what caused this discussion. They should just concern themselves with their own posts and skip ones that don't interest them.
Many posters do quite clearly ignore various posts on here. Some do respond to posts regarding SA by questioning why we talk about on here, others respond with rumours of launch dates. As I understand it, this would classed as taking part in a discussion on SA. Their opinions on the subject are surely as valid as any others. Just because you do not agree with them, does not mean no-one can post them. Perhaps I am being obtuse and misunderstanding the definition of discussion though.

BIB - Ironically, I don't think it's appropriate for you tell people what they can and can not post on here either. If they feel a post/discussion is not relevant, they are allowed to say so, I am not aware of anything that says they to bite their tongue. It seems rather like a "pot and kettle" situation here.
You have no right to say people should just concern themselves with their posts just because they want to question the validity of other posts or discussions. Obviously the post interested them in the first place, so they have the right to reply to it and not skip past it.

You choose not to skip past some posts on SA, why should others have to skip it.

Hopefully though, you will only concern yourself with your own posts on this matter and skip this post because it does not interest you. I certainly do not want this to drag on.
