Argumentative refers to the form of the question — not the subject matter.
My question, posed before reading any of the comments after your #2, referred to giving conservatives, especially kids, a break a big fat break, especially when they are not at fault.

I wouldn’t consider the question argumentative or even slightly confrontational. It was a direct question plain and simple and he was hoping to get an honest answer and he didn’t.
