That's an abuse of the flag button. You flag a story that is off-topic for the site, or that is spam, or that deliberately trolls the site. But flags are not downvotes. I can safely count on the fact that dozens of stories I won't like will hit this site every day. I don't flag them.
You should hit the "unflag" button now. Or don't, but then don't complain when, after gratifying this bad habit of yours for a few more months, you lose the flag button.
Off-topic, not.
Spam, okay, not, but close.
Troll, after the flamewar we've had on two topics and two github issues, giving it more fuel is close.
This is not even "news" and the "I-am-picky-about-my-comments" bit prevents it from being discussion, escalation of discussion or anything else that could be relevant in this place. Also, the appeal to "the node community" when the issue at hands is just tangentially linked to it makes it linkbait.
