Well these kind of things he is citing occur all over the web. I wouldn't be overly concerned that this place is any different. Actually it occurs here a lot less than other places. There's a photography user group site that I paid to join and over there "thread hijacking" occurs quite often. And that's a paid site. This place is free. It's sad to see when someone can't take something but in the end I likely think there's some other triggers at play.
