I have to admit that one of the reasons I freaked out was because my accidentally stirring up fandom turmoil has only happened once before, ever. I know that people are bound to clash, so I don't really venture out into forums and such because I like to stay where I figure it's least likely to happen (I know you said that no one called me a troll, but people saying that the topic was irrelevant had about the same effect). I look at our lovely fandom here and I think "oh! Here's a nice group of sophisticated well-read people" so when a post started getting some negativity, it registered in my brain as "not normal. Do something."

Also, I realized after I'd deleted the post that it hadn't even been up for 24 hours. But I'm glad you found it interesting!
