It’s the phrasing/tone. It’s such a red flag. As to his being answered: somebody responding to him in good faith does not suddenly validate what he was doing.

  There was nothing wrong or offensive with my phrasing.

    I'm surprised that your comment is dead. Apparently there was evidence (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48153756 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48153756), so I don't see the problem with having asked.

      It’s surprising to me as well. Such an innocuous question. Don’t fully understand why people found it offensive enough to flag.
