> **Should be avoided** > > * secondary discussions or debates on controversial points (please ask a question on meta). Just when is a discussion secondary? I think r~~ used the term "digressive", which I find to convey the intent better. I get that we don't want to derail comment threads with lengthy tangential debates, in particular while threaded comments don't exist yet. But a thread is only derailed if the discussion is lengthy, so I think we should write that into the rule. Also, digressive discussions might also be about technical points. I therefore propose: > * lengthy digressive discussions (should be moved to a separate question)
