Does BlueNC require on-topic discussions?

In the past, we've been pretty casual at BlueNC about staying on topic in a diary. Please keep in mind that it is disrespectful to a writer to hold a discussion about an unrelated topic in the thread of a diary. We do our best to have open threads and plenty of forum topics that allow for conversations on many different topics. Now and in the future we will be more strict with keeping the discussions in the comments on topic.
