At time of writing, this is downvoted. I virtually never comment on voting/flagging, but this is maybe the most disappointing downvoting I've seen. The parent made a simple logical assertion based obviously on knowledge that was omitted, and was asked the obvious question of "why?". It doesn't get much more innocent than that. I can't know why it was downvoted, but I can't help think it had to do with the tendency to over-interpret tone/implication on controversial topics.
