For the obvious reasons. What is interesting to you? Talk about QM or compiler internals? Celebrity gossip? There are way more interesting things in the world, and this is one of those. This is a forum for hackers and startup types. Long lasting flame wars and user behavior in forums are already in the set of topics of interest. Someone returning to a thread after a 100k hour ban is by itself hugely amusing. Besides, posts don't get on the home page based on some personal or objective criterium for "interesting-ness". They get on the first page based on voting.
