When you flag something, would you please just flag it without also commenting that you are? Edit: I retracted this below.

  Paul, I've thought about it long and hard, and I feel that mentioning that I flagged this article serves a purpose. If you can make flags visible another way, I'm happy to stop mentioning that I flagged something.

    Would you please send me an email, or add your email address to your profile so I can send you one?

      I sent you an email at pg@yc... My email is daniel at tenner dot org.

  How does that make any sense? I get not just writing "flagged!", but if someone has something to say about a story, they should say it. That comment contributed.

    True; I apologize. This comment is not the type that merely complains an article shouldn't be on HN.

    It's a contradiction. You're commenting on something that you claim to want killed. It's a variant of feeding the trolls. It also fills up the /newcomments page with zombie conversations.
