  Why? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Does removing it from its parent context make it better?

    No, it does not. But such flagged comments lose their privilege of appearing high up in the thread.
    • paulddraper 10y ago
      But why was it flagged? I do not understand. There is zero explanation.
      • sctb 10y ago
        I don't know exactly why users flagged it, but many did. One possibility is that you've made a bold and controversial claim without accompanying evidence. That sort of thing predictably impedes our ability to have the kind of civil and thoughtful discussion that we're here for.
