Of course that would confuse people! Jesus I never even realized that you were trying to do that because that makes no sense.
You moved somebody elses thread while they were still posted in it and expected us to now all instantly realize that this was "your thread"? Were you surprised that we continued talking about the subject we had been talking about?
Yes!
You can't just hijack someones thread like that. If I'm understanding you correctly you moved this thread then tried to say/imply "this is my thread now, here is the new topic, please change all current discussion to this one and forget about everything up to this point because it no longer matters".
You even named the poll off of the original topic. Not to mention people read the OP and thread title to determine the thread subject, neither of which were changed.
Now it all makes sense. Now I understand why it felt like I was talking to wall that was constantly trying to change the subject this entire time. Why we've been going to circles for pages and pages.
Edit: Alright I think I'm done for today. I'm tired and I have two weeks of the colbert report that I missed to catch up on.

Yes!
