Your comment was flagged and dead (hidden unless you have "showdead" on in your settings). But I don't see any objectionable content in it other than the use of ALL CAPS for emphasis, which is strongly discouraged here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
"Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized."
Other than that, you make some good points which people might agree or disagree with but seem worth hearing.
So I went out on a limb and "vouched" your comment so it appears in the thread again.
If I am in error here, I would appreciate feedback from anyone who flagged your comment, so we can all better understand how to comment appropriately. Thanks!
- epr 8y agoThank you. I do acknowledge that this is generally an unwelcome point of view, but the reason my comment was originally flagged was I believe for legitimate reasons before changes I made soon after commenting. After I was flagged, I looked up those rules you linked but I must have skimmed over the part about not using all caps.
