I think it was a reasonable response, I don't really see the big deal. One of those things where you are free to say what you want, but it might have consequences. It's not like will Smith stomped him out or anything.
*what was he supposed to do, suck his dick and endorse him for president like Ted Cruz...

Reasonable response? Anyone else would have been charged with assault but Will gets an academy award and a standing ovation. The world is fucked beyond all repair of this is considered a reasonable response to a bad joke.
Stephen Colbert summed it well. If you want to hurt a comedian, don’t laugh at his joke.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, someone a lot smarter than you or I, summed it up best.
"When Will Smith stormed onto the Oscar stage to strike Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife's short hair, he did a lot more damage than just to Rock's face. With a single petulant blow, he advocated violence, diminished women, insulted the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community.”
I suspect this meme is probably a fair indication of how it went down.
I didn't say it wasn't.
Will Smith was highlighted because of the Oscar nomination..his wife had nothing to do with it. Oscar Tradition has it that those who are nominated are softly roasted.
Jada Pinkett Smith was not a nominee but a wife of one- so how far should the soft roast extend? What if she had a colostomy bag?
'and Jada..what's that new designer bag you got going for you Girllllllllllllll?'
Chris Rock was riffing and used unapproved monologue..he too should be censured by the Oscar Board of Directors.
And for those of you men are married you know your wife's hair is her physical crowning glory and why she spends money on it.
From bullying to traumatic failed treatments — women with alopecia share painful memories Chris Rock's joke triggered, and why they understand Will Smith's reaction
Insider spoke to women with alopecia after the Oscars. Many cried sharing how triggered they felt by Chris Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

Relativity was a great single and special relativity a nice album. That tune about the photo electric effect was a gold record winner and number one hit. He rocked and slew them at Solvay! Played a pretty mean fiddle too.

I wonder what the unemployment benefits they have in Russia? High unemployment would cost a fortune.

Mass layoffs in Russia. Sanctions over the war affect the employment of ordinary Russians

I finally understand my confusion. The literal translation is that (someone, genderless) has asked, and [implied someone, same or other] has answered.
But the English phrase suggests participles where the Latin does not.
Your form would be perhaps better served by “interrogatum et responsum” since the past participle seems to work better than a cantilevered past perfect. Bwdik!
