Fair enough - I reacted pretty harshly.
I try to read everything on HN, especially Kindle criticism, because the popular opinion is negative on this site and I like to play devil's advocate.
As for flagging: it's really not my trying to get back at you. As you say: you didn't submit this and you're allowed to write anything you want. I still don't think it's HN-worthy, though, hence the flagging. It's not "Let's piss masukomi off," it's "hey, maybe other people were similar-minded and flagged this, in which case the story gets killed in exchange for a more relevant one."
As for 3): I take everything personally kind of as matter of routine. I'm very, erm, passionate about stuff like this. Again, I hope you're not offended by my taking offense, because it's nothing personal towards you.
