Isn't it rude to start an off topic conversation in a thread?

I've heard about highjacking but i thought that was usually staying on topic.
There are a couple guys joking around on a thread that doesn't pertain to anything.

I asked a poster about his setup and they started making off topic jokes.
The poster answered me and they chimed in with more nonsense .
People actually are trying to educate themselves here. In the future somebody is going to have to needlessly sift through all this BS .

There is a lot of good information here at TB and a thread with 8 pages that is 3 pages of useless comments makes it a pita to do research
