Look at the other posts here. In what way is this particular op unusual?

I realize you may not think you were admonishing anyone, but tone on the internet is real tricky, and discussing an op by asking why it was posted where it was posted is real difficult to do without coming off the wrong way.

I notice that some of the people in this group have a tendency to over react whenever someone asks a question.

Oh we have a regular parade of alert nannies, sock puppets, and presumptuous visitors who show up not to participate so much as to tell us how we should participate. Your question fit right into that bucket. You may or may not have known that, but that is how your question was going to be experienced.
