While I disagree with the direct attacks and poor phrasing, there is a point in what the OP says. 
People have the freedom to talk about whatever floats their boat but I do hope that as a courtesy to others they would at least use a descriptive subject line.
It is quite annoying to me and wasting my time when I'm trying to read through a topic I'm interested in which is interspersed with a dozen other off-topic subjects which I personally am not interested in.

Another way to look at this is that good discussion points tend to get lost in the 'background noise' which makes the discussions less effective.
