what nonsense. this sounds like something a Rustacean would say 
;-)

It not unusual for a thread, to morph into a multithread. big 
deal.

if it bothers you, just don't read it.

when something on the news bothers me, I just switch it off. I 
don't complain about it being on the news.

also, 'why is D unpopular' is an emotive headline, that 
encourages a lot of response (either way). That's entirely 
expected.

That you just want to shut it down, cause it bothers you, is far 
more concerning to me, that the number of threads i need to read 
(most of which i don't, and in any case, I can choose not to if 
that is preference).

Could it be, that D is unpopular, because of statements like 
yours (wanting to shut down conversations when they get a little 
too active)?

At least I made an attempt to remain on topic ;-)
