Relative to the content of the thread discussion, I'd say "tangential"
was being too generous.  Maybe I should have added "to the thread" to

It felt like you were selling something vaguely connected to what I was

The thread began with a citation of a recent paper:

You might read the thread before making additional meta-comments about
