Why flagged @dang?

• tacheiordache 3y ago
  Subject does not like being talked about or dissected too much. I highly doubt @dang flagged this himself, other people did. It seems like a controll valve that can be used from time to time. Anyone can gang up with a bunch of others to mass flag a story.

  Because of who the subject is, plain and simple. Seems to be a double standard here as is typical.

  The usual reason: users flagged it. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

    That’s fair. The comments were veering off from academic standards to mideast ethnic conflict. But I do think the standards of the leadership of the world’s greatest university matter to Hacker News readers.
