What's wrong with asking? I generally flag things that are gratuitously inappropriate, and ignore those I don't like but think are appropriate.
Sometimes something seems inappropriate but popular, and I think I understand why. I flag it and carry on. But once in a while there's a post that I think is inappropriate but I don't understand why. So I ask.
That being said, I do get why using the question as a passive-aggressive way of saying "Not HN" is tiresome and also a violation of the guidelines. No judgment on this specific question, just a general comment...
