Start your own thread inspired by, but keep to the topic for the person asking for something on the original thread. Although I’m also guilty of going off on tangents on threads so I should shut up.

I think if a thread is asking for opinions, it's free for all. If a thread is specifically focused on the positives of something it's a bit silly to go in with a negative, but not outright wrong to do so.
But it's the nature of an open forum.
I take more issue with people who have no compatibility or I merest going straight to someone's inbox with negative comments rather than just moving on. It seems more of an issue to me when it's done in private than when it's a public discussion  | |||

"OP, posting on a thread about something that has happened to the OP of a thread but not to the person responding can be very relevant; "I avoid this negative thing happening to me because I take the following preventative measures...". Such comments are constructive and helpful. Yes, it would be helpful. But posting on a ghosting thread to say "never been ghosted" isn't. Ive seen this here." I agree OP, if that was all that the poster posted as their comment but if the elaborated to say how they've avoided being ghosted, that could be helpful. Then again any comment that doesn't elaborate could, in most cases be said to be of little value; "love been ghosted " okay, and..? | |||

I think if a thread is asking for opinions, it's free for all. If a thread is specifically focused on the positives of something it's a bit silly to go in with a negative, but not outright wrong to do so.
But it's the nature of an open forum.
