obviously someone doesn’t believe that I’m telling the truth when I make a promise about how I stayed sober.

Yes, I moved parts as the conversation was getting off topic. Side conversations/banter should be taken to new threads or PMs.
It’s mainly why this thread was started. 
But no harm no foul.

Hmmmmmm. I see a lot of conversations where people are connecting with each other but they don’t get derailed!. I don’t wanna judge the judger tho

Yes, there are many. Please keep in mind that moderators do not read all the threads. When we DO read a thread that has been derailed or someone brings it to our attention, then we do move items. If it is a small derailment and goes back on track itself, then we let sit. A fine line, I know!!
****Also, I did take out the political discussion here, in the spirit of the no politics rule.

I think it helps when people start messaging each other instead of replying back and forth on a thread (though I know I’ve been guilty of that, too). I think people sometimes forget that it’s a great option available to keep a side conversation going if they want to.

I agree 100% Rosa. And we all are guilty of having side conversations in a thread. Remembering to move it to a PM is a great suggestion!!!

Exactly, Sassy and Rosa. I just happened to see one.
Even well-meaning or helpful conversations shouldn’t take threads off the OP’s track.
Again, not a big deal and usually not even flagged (unless it’s hostile). But we may shift posts as a reminder and to keep threads tidy.

Where do all the post go from this thread when we aren’t talking about derailment voids 
it’s one of those mysteries.
