I don't think I abused the flag function. As at the time my perception was that the thread was an astroturf PR attempt. I am now extremely sorry that I have participated in that thread at all (before it got off the front page and especially after it got off the front page) since now instead of one crappy thread taking place on the front page of HN we have two and we might have more in the future. With my disclaimer out of the way I would be extremely glad if you tell my why you think I abused my flagging privilege (besides breaching guidelines by talking about it).
