No doubt Xena was right about asking people not to banter on topics. For the ones who want to read about a particular subject, it is to say the least, annoying, having to read through certain peoples' IRRELEVANT chats. It's to everbody's undestanding that this site is nobody's monopoly, and posts don't have an expiration date after which ''hijacking'' is allowed. It's clearly not about depriving freedom of expression as some implied, it's only a matter of being considerate to people who want to be informed and inform about a certain topic.

On the other hand, I didn't expect to see people leave, and this does not make me happy.
