I spam once in a while, I admit it, but on average, I'd say the majority of my posts are longer than average and deal with the topic at hand. I've probably written some of the longest and in-depth posts on here, and probably a few of the shortest and silliest.
I will point out that conversations flow, just like a river. If you don't let them flow, they get stagnent. Sometimes that leads you to a different place, but this is supposed to be fun. As rich a world as Fujishima-sama's is, if you limit the conversation too much, we'll all run out of things to say.
Besides, many of those threads that have diverged wildly took days or even weeks to do so... a well thought out contribution would have easily gotten them back on track if someone had bothered to post one.
I guess I'm just saying don't take things too seriously.
