If you're not sure why it matters that I'm quoting Thomas Jefferson in this thread and not some random person I think you can feel free to pipe down telling people what is and isn't substantive and read a book.

P.S. - Hi Dang. I summon thee. Umpteenth example.

Spare me, the reason given for the flag is that I am apparently calling for violence. He is exquisitely out of line all over this thread, not just with me. Kettle pot.

To be fair, I'm the only who we know for certain interpreted your comment in the way I did, and I vouched/unflagged it. Who knows why anyone else would flag it?

Because they disagree with it and want it hidden. That is the entire point of the flagging system, to hide opinions the flaggers disagree with from those too oblivious to turn on showdead.

Since you unflagged it and appear to be suddenly as befuddled as I am about why it was flagged in the first place it seems that you agree with me that it shouldn't have been.

I'd be pretty concerned about these mysterious false flags.

P.S. - Mr Slater immediately jumped to your defense with the usual party line. Possibly a bit too quickly this time, your overwhelming fairness is showing guys. I'm touched.

I'm more partial to the theory tonynator puts forth.

I don't actually agree. I just wanted to see how you'd respond.

Yes it was obvious bait mr 5d chess. Nobody looking at this thinks it is mysterious either.

Honestly I can't even handle normal chess.
