Why do members hijack threads?

Some members intentionally start conversations on threads that are unrelated to the Original Poster’s topic. Not only does the thread get derailed, but whatever useful info discussed on the thread by the hijacker is hidden from view, unless one searches for it. 

So rather than starting a new thread on topic, some members appear to disrupt an ongoing discussion.

Thoughts as to why this occurs?

Sometimes what is perceived as a "hijack" is the result of a thread that has had its topic beaten to death via an extra long thread, and then morphed into a general conversation about unrelated things. 

And yes ... it was a joke. :-)

It’s mostly certain people, who know who they are, who take the thread off at a tangent from the original topic. Initially, there is a thin connection, but soon it disappears. Can you hear differences between CD transports evolves into can you hear differences in digital cables, evolves into differences in interconnects, and from there anywhere else, e.g. fuses.

When people have an axe to grind, they will take advantage of any space and opportunity to grind it.
