By asking this question, am I on topic?
As far as I am concerned, since this is a forum centered around the concept of freedom and growth/learning, discussion may be allowed to evolve naturally. As long as our goal is learning, perhaps the movement of a conversation is something to be embraced, and not enforced. Each individual gets a vote on where the discussion will proceed, by adding his/her own comments to the discussion. That process is already built into the nature of communication, so there's not much we need to do.
