Relax, nobody is trying to make you out to be the villain. Brainstorming is an integral part to any design process or pretty much any development type of process. Having multiple topics on one subject that turns into another isn't a bad thing, it's how things get done, and it's pretty important that everybody involved have the ability to voice their opinions. Do you want to run a democracy here, or a dictatorship? They both have their merits in application development, but you need to choose now which you are going to run, and make it clear what everybody's role and purpose is.

Just because the posts don't directly relate to what you desire them to be at this point in the process does not mean they are not valid or important to the end result.

I'm sorry if I instigated anything, I really think I would like to be part of this project at some point, if I can volunteer the time. It's been over a month since everything was initially suggested, things should be moving forward, should they not?
