    Well attending doesn’t necessarily imply participating.

    …Will someone please forward the meeting invite to me? I’d like to attend. Whether I participate is yet to be seen.

      Well, it’s yet to be HEARD. Unless we’re able to see all participants at the same time

        No, it is indeed more likely to be seen via online text, as most people do not have irl contact with OP nor their phone number

      …and we don’t have deer/frog eyes. Wow, this conversation has gone off the rails.

        Technically, there were no rails to begin with. So, if the conversation was never on the the non-existent rails, it certainly could not have gone off them.

          “Off the rails” is clearly an idiom in this scenario, and the “rails” are a metaphor for the original line ideation, which has been lost.
