"Just asking questions" has been an interesting phrase to deal with for years. South Park dealt with it brilliantly in their Dances With Smurfs episode.
Still, it's worth noting how important it is to be able to differentiate between valid questions, leading questions, and loaded questions.
So, I repeated a joke that libertarians are people with Asperger's and a lot of opinions.
A person who I know to be far to the left of Bernie Sanders took certain umbrage and said that Hans Asperger was a Nazi. Asperger's political affiliations are still up for debate; but, that's neither here nor there. No question had been asked yet; but, I felt compelled to ask why she felt compelled to mention that. Even if Asperger were a Nazi, I was joking about people who have Asperger's being libertarians rather than saying that libertarians are like the guy who is first credited with diagnosing the syndrome. Given the context, I think I asked a fair question, being that past interactions would insinuate that this person was trying to flip my joke on me to say that libertarians are Nazis.
She went on to ask me if I have Asperger's. She didn't answer my question.
This wasn't my first rodeo. By asking me if I have Asperger's, she was intentionally trying to put me into an unwinnable situation.
Obviously, if I said 'no', her life would be made easier because she could pull an infinit number of talking points about "punching down" and "how do you have a right" and so-on and turn the conversation into something tangential with no end. It should be obvious to anyone of mild intelligence that a self-proclaimed libertarian saying that the personality that is in line with the philosophy that he or she espouses is correlated with Asperger's isn't an insult to people with Asperger's; but, a lot of people don't possess mild intelligence.
But, even if I said that I do have Asperger's, I'd still lose. I'd lose because I'd be capitulating to her view that she gets to decide whether or not the joke that I told was okay. I would be capitulating to her standards when I don't accept her standards.
It's just one of those things that you learn not to answer when it's not your first rodeo. You learn that the question isn't a genuine inquiry so much as it's an attempt to lure you into the opposing stadium and shut the door behind you.
