I've seen this happen in multiple threads whether it be my threads or somebody else. It has happened to me and Ive seen it happen to others.
Every so often a user feels the need to start going completely off topic to talk about users and what they should or should not do. I've been guilty in this as well before so im not innocent but these arguments should be dealt with in private. There is no reason to go completely off topic just to talk about someone and tell them what they should and should not do. That is why we have moderators. Mods dont mod this stuff, but not only does it detract from the original topic but it is also not needed at all.
There needs to be some kind of rule about derailment as this is one of the most annoying things on VGC.

I was under the impression that moderation here was purely reactive. i.e. only responded to reporting.

This has been my experience as well.
Edit: And there is a rule for this already:
"Keep posts on topic as much as possible. Threads do sometimes naturally transition into other discussions, but coming in and posting about a completely different topic in order to start arguments is not okay. Stay on topic, and if you have something different to talk about make your own topic."
