It was neither, it was personal, it was in their profile, no 
different than wearing a cross round your neck, or a dodgers 
t-shirt. Its what humans do, they display to other humans things 
about who they are. That's the whole point of a "profile", so you 
can let people know a little bit about you.

You made it political because you got so upset about it you felt 
the need to complain about it. IE. You are the one being 
"ideological", you want to impose your ideology on others.

It's honestly depressing that you don't understand why such 
behaviour is a problem.
