that's because the thread became about hypotheticals in absence of more information, so the discussions being had in the thread came off at a number of tangents
the tone and style of a thread can change to a degree in the same way that a conversation naturally flows to slightly differing topics
your post, on the other hand, served only to abruptly interrupt that process and annoyingly minimod the discussion whilst contributing nothing new to the thread
it should also be noted that the tangent between ud and i appeared to have run its course
