By complaining that the submission is inappropriate:
GlickWick: I'm unclear as to how this thread is legitimate, personally. Doesn't seem to really fit with HN. I'm no fan of the Patriot Act either, but this belongs somewhere like Reddit.
- GlickWick 11y agoWhich was in reply to a question about why the thread was being flagged. This was not an unprompted complaint about an inappropriate submission, this was a reply to a question.
- dvdfvo 11y agoYou were still breaking the rules.
- GlickWick 11y agoThat is not true. If a user asks a question about the rules or the validity of a post/flagging, it's fine to discuss. You don't like the fact that I'm criticizing this thread, which is fine, but stop trying to cherry-pick silly reasons to discredit what I'm saying. It's having the opposite effect of what you intended anyways.
- dvdfvo 11y agoYes it is. That is just your opinion. Rules are clear on this: Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. As you can see, no additional caveats are listed. Therefore you, by responding to a comment which was about incorrect flagging, complained about inappropriate submissions, directly violated the rules. Your last paragraph is basically just ad-hominem. I'm ending this "discussion" here and will not be reading your inevitable further comments.
