| Nov 3, 2010 at 11:34 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | That's why we're moving it to the chat, and most extended on-topic discussions aren't just random noise. They can be useful towards new users... Better than this: See me as a new user! I don't understand the answer so I give my point of view in a comment to try to understand why I'm wrong and he is right. I want to do this to either understand the answer or improve it. This isn't behavior we should discourage, this is behavior we should allow either in the comments (but most disagree) or move to the chat (which most here agree on). You have to see it as a way to learn or improve! Not arguing. | |
| Nov 3, 2010 at 6:40 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | But while you may feel your discussion deserves a place on the site, it's just random noise to new users looking for an answer. If you have a beef: take it somewhere else! | |

But see my comments to tzenes' answer, in such case deletion would feel inapproriate towards the users so it would be better to move the messages towards the chat. Although the SE system doesn't allow that, but it wouldn't be too hard to write if their code is proper... | |
