I think this sort of ambiguity is one of the big problems with this discussion: if you're defending your right to be Poster C and they think you're defending your right to be poster B it's all going to get unnecessarily nasty. And I don't know exactly what Zvi (or phoebe_zeitgeist, or anyone but me :)) means exactly by "derailing".
I had a go at explaining what I mean by it a bit better, after deciding that redefining the word was just a recipe for misunderstanding: http://sqbr.dreamwidth.org/266749.html
