I'd argue that it's more a warning sign about an author that they're incapable of being tone-neutral about a subject.
Having difficulty reading past an extremely hostile tone, particularly about a matter sensitive to you, is -human-. Having difficulty being civil to a group you have an -honest- intellectual disagreement with, less so.
