Well, if you wanted to say my point was irrelevant, and you considered it "derailment", why did you post a five paragraph ramble on original intent? I mean, if you really thought that I was trying to derail the debate, why accelerate off the tracks with all your might? Did you really think I would not think you actually wanted to discuss the things you had brought up in your reply?
Bringing up "Derailment" the way you have is one of the truly petulant "internet argument techniques". Want to wind back from taking an awkward position on something, cry "Derailment" and insist that all that part of the discussion be ignored.
