- tptacek 2y agoFeels like the flaggers aren't the ones being self-righteous here. We're just flagging and getting on with our day. One of them took the time to explain what they were doing for you, and, well, (looks around).

One of them took the time to explain what they were doing for you They took their precious time and explained it just for me? I thought you said "We're just flagging and getting on with our day." You might want to (looks around) and count up your, well, comments. Seems like you're trying to claim both not caring at all and benevolent enlightenment, which is, well, a little self righteous.
