“What you just said goes way beyond the original topic” does not at all imply “shut the fuck up about it”. That’s an implication you created out of your own subconscious biases.
The discussion we’re having right now has strayed pretty far from the original topic, but I’m not disapproving of it.

Correct.
And that isn’t supposed to send the message some of you think it’s unfitting?
Also correct.

I never said it implied “shut up” if that’s where the confusion comes from.
That means “shut up”.
Or “dismissed.”
