Relax and enjoy the time here. People discussing something over a few posts in a thread that is basically the defacto conversation thread, isn't going to kill anyone. As mentioned, if it personally bothers you, unsubscribe.
How about responding in the non-premium member for sale threads about it being inappropriate? THAT would be productive and actually help keep the lights on around here. Prop, myself, and a few others are the only ones who bother to reply and report it.

I'm completely relaxed and I always enjoy my time here. My input is just a suggestion. It is becoming the catch all thread, mostly because of new members. As a long term member that has frequented the forum almost every day I have seen this thread deteriorate, especially over the last two years. I have always been a premier member, I have a vested interest in the betterment of the forum. I am also concerned about the future of the forum, that's the reason for the input.
I usually send a private message about posting ads since most are new members and I don't think it should be 'public'. When you Let folks know about selling things it is trying to help make the forum better. Good for you! I respect that. My intent is the same and I expect like respect.
It is very easy to unsubscribe. It is also just as easy to use the thread as intended. How does anyone think trying to solve problems and troubleshooting is not off to far off topic in this thread? Why is it any different than hy jacking a thread, using bad language, verbally attacking a member etc.? Sure, some conversation like complimenting what someone has done, where they purchased the parts, asking for the results is great.
The way to improve the forum is to follow all the rules not selectively.
