I mean, look at this. I am reading the comments, drop by to make an unrelated comment, discussion ensues.
It's--if something is gonna be HELLA long and unrelated to the original post topic, you make it a separate post. If you're on topic or even going on a short tangent, go for your life!
As I am Very ADHD, my entire life is so tangential I'm basically a walking herringbone pattern, so I don't care if people end up discussing goldfish at length on my post about drywall, but I understand other people can get a bit annoyed about lengthy tangents. Pretty much nobody would get annoyed at a short tangential comment and then a reply of "I had lengthy thoughts about this over here" with a link.
I don't think people get annoyed at all with people dropping by and continuing the discussion on-topic from a link, or if they do they realise that it's on them for not setting the privacy level correctly and make sure they control it a bit more in future.
