It was probably also uncool to call out a specific woman by name, who did not volunteer for this.

Do suggest I did so? I don't recall mentioning anyone by name.

No, you didn't.  That was someone else.

That's the haskell community pledge of allegiance, right there. Congratulations, you wrote it!

One thing I do notice, one starts with a harmless question and it out of the blue it suddenly becomes political. In both ways. Is there really a need for this?

Yes, because what may be a harmless abstract question to you may directly affect someone else's day-to-day life. Try to learn from people in these situations, even if you are frustrated by them.
