Well it should be considered rude and punishible, since others had more valuable thoughts than you…shame on you…

I think it does not matter. You started a thread with a thought and personally I feel you did a good job even to bring thought for others to think about or discuss on.
Now if you brought a controvertial and knowingly controvertial thread and then run away and enjoying you coffee in your armchair and laughing…then …not good.
Sorry, not referring to you…I know who do that periodically.
