It’s not up to you to decide what the standard is for creating threads.  
If you don’t like a topic, you’re free not to participate in it or reply.

If you want to give your disagreeing opinion, it’s possible to do it in a non-aggressive manner.  
From the thread:

> [@Tijuana is not pronounced 'Tia-Wanna'](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tijuana-is-not-pronounced-tia-wanna/585997/28):

> Holy fucking shit, Private Guizot! Did you just simultaneously hijack and shit on this thread? I think you did. Your baggage does not mean shit to me or anyone else, so I strongly suggest you un-fuck yourself before someone else does it for you.

> [@Tijuana is not pronounced 'Tia-Wanna'](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tijuana-is-not-pronounced-tia-wanna/585997/44):
>
> Seriously? That was criticism, not moderation. As a moderator, you should realize that I’m critisizing you for shitty moderation and blatant “because I don’t like your tone” tactics.
> 
> I’m not moderating or suggesting (junior moderating?) you behave any other way. I just think you’re being an asshole. I’m making a critical observation.
> 
> Fuck you if you don’t like it.

You’ve been here for two years, so you should know by now that your post was out of line for IMHO.  
If you have a problem with another poster or feel the need to use insulting posts against someone, then you open a Pit thread.
