That's the spirit!
You can't just drop knowledge bombs all willy nilly, one has to consider the current atmosphere, the touchiness of the subject at hand, and the differences in language before you let one rip.
I think communication has become a lost art when discussing things over the internet, especially when one tries to bring up serious topics in a relaxed and casual setting.
There was absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with previous post Panda-sama in terms of content, but in your hastiness to demonstrate your deep knowledge and contrarian viewpoints, you may have missed a great opportunity to spark a debate with Soup-chan and enlighten all of us. Your post wasn't even aggressive in the slightest, but I still think it was wildly inappropriate.
I guess that's exactly why many forums don't permit serious topics like politics and religion, because people get fired up over the content of their posts, they forget that the only thing more important than what you're saying, is how you're saying it.
English iz hard.
