In many cases the "what would your founders think" question is used rather condescendingly with an intent to shame the actives (or you know, GC posters.) Particularly when it's coming from an outsider the question just rubs the wrong way. Our founders created our GLOs and are a big influence on us in that way, but they aren't perfect examples of how we should act/think/feel and they quite obviously came from a different time.
That's why the question is reacted to in that way in this context and nearly every other one.
