This is important to me:

I've noticed how asking a question is converted into an insult by the one being questioned

I think that one thing we all would benefit from, is to give people the benefit of the doubt, in terms of assuming, at least initially, that the question was asked in earnest, not in spite.

It's tough I know, with variations in levels of roughness of response based perhaps on regional norms, and various levels of proficiency with the language of discourse.

But if you assume the worst, it colors your perception of all replies. But if you assume the best or at least neutrality, I think it changes the tone of the replies.
