Thank you. It’s really not a nice feeling to be silenced, especially when it feels completely unjustified. Makes you question reality itself. I hope the powers that be unflag it.

To clarify my earlier point as I now realize I sounded more hostile than I intended to. Sometimes, people will flag for aesthetic reasons even if the comment doesn't technically deserve it. They might be tired of negativity, and click the flag button in a moment of weakness just for the experience of being excited about things again. There also is a separate phenomenon of dead or removed comments usually meriting it, even taking into account trigger-happy moderation.

In this case, your comment spawned helpful discussion so I'll happily vouch for it if it is ever killed.

Thank you for vouching and giving some insight. The moderators have got a tough gig!
