> Because it's completely and totally irrelevant to the topic at hand
Fun fact: topics can change while discussion continues.

To be clear, neither am I. But I do think it's important to discuss with people who think it is okay because, as I said earlier, telling them to shut up will result in worse situations.

Perhaps the mere fact that you don't recognize their comment as an opinion is partly why people feel unheard.
