Why do people get so pissed off when someone starts a new thread? Does it cause hurricanes at your town?
I could easily say to you, using your logic "Why do people get so pissed off when I fart on them? Does it cause hurricanes in your town?"
Well, no, it doesn't. But it's still considered rude and unnecessary. If the OP is a response to another idea in another thread, why not post it there? Isn't that the polite thing to do, rather than force people following that idea in that thread to go to your new thread? It's like having a conversation with someone who walks into another room and expects you to follow them there to continue. That's rude.
How do you not understand that?
