Here is the explanation.

You have said many times that you don't do "art talk", but in every thread about art talk, you have to go and somehow butt in and denigrate the entire discussion.

I don't grow ficus but I see absolutely no need to interrupt every ficus thread by saying that growing ficus is pointless.

If you don't do art talk (or if you don't do "art", for that matter), why not just leave well enough alone and let other people talk about it without constantly trying to disrupt their conversations?
