Insensitive yes. But that said, this forum, for good or ill, even being a small fandom as it is, brings together individuals from various countries, languages, cultural understandings, ages, and backgrounds. When questions are asked it creates an opportunity to dialog, educate, and interact. When the response to a question being asked is to attack, more often than not the wedges in perspective and understanding are driven deeper and the result is individuals who are pushed wider apart, resulting in people more set in their potential prejudices.
Perhaps the question should never have been asked, but it was asked without vitriol, and some of the reverse attacks left me feeling as uncomfortable as the question itself.
