I know. I agree that the "these people should die" comment should be flagged, but I vouched for the "Rob Pike is my idol and I think syntax highlighting is overrated" comment. It may deserve a downvote, but I think flagging is excessive.
Even the lamontcg's "you outdid the other commenter" comment was flagged instead of downvoted. I vouched for that, too. I think people are too trigger-happy on the "flag" link. Flagging is generally done for spam and wholly inappropriate content like porn or wishing death, and I can't see either of the comments I vouched as being that.
- lamontcg 5y agoI mean I technically called the guy I was responding to an asshole which is a personal attack, which should get flagged per the rules on this site. But the "hurr durr old dumb programmer get corona and die" was bad enough I felt that was a measured response.
- jolmg 5y agoI must be so used to hearing such words that it didn't even register as a personal attack. I guess you're right.
