In my experience, the exact opposite is true.
Hardly anyone comes on and refers to 'my thread' - if ever I encounter it, I am delighted to shoot it down for the incorrect assumption of 'ownership' that it is.
When I write an article or review, it is my piece, or my opinion, but it doesn't 'belong' to me in the sense that I have any control over the reactions to it, or can infer that people can only respond in a way that I deem to be acceptable.

Well you probably don't go on the threads I'm talking about then Andy, I've lost count of postings such as:
Sorry to digress on your thread
If you want to discuss that start your own thread
Sorry to interrupt your thread (insert name) but how is your leg/wife/dog (insert another name)
Come on (insert name) let's you get up to 100 answers
Yippee that makes 200 on my thread
etc

No, I do see them, and ignore them.
The only ones I shoot at are ones where people say things like "You came on MY thread and said this …" - that gets a response because the assumption of ownership is used in order to tell another AB'er - often me! - that they can't say this or that - and of course, they can.
