Why flagged @dang?

Subject does not like being talked about or dissected too much.

I highly doubt @dang flagged this himself, other people did. It seems like a controll valve that can be used from time to time. Anyone can gang up with a bunch of others to mass flag a story.

Because of who the subject is, plain and simple. Seems to be a double standard here as is typical.

The usual reason: users flagged it. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

That’s fair. The comments were veering off from academic standards to mideast ethnic conflict.

But I do think the standards of the leadership of the world’s greatest university matter to Hacker News readers.
