I'm not one of the people who flagged the parent comment but: Believe it or not, people in an adult conversation are capable of agreeing with (or at least finding interesting) the general content of a comment without finding the way it was phrased to be helpful or appropriate. Even your (failed) attempt at adult conversation in this comment had more substance and was more illuminating of the actual point than the flagged comment was.
The thing is, actual educated, reasoned adults should be capable of understanding the point a person is making, without straining at a gnat, and without making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Our society, says everyone, is way too sensitive and "PC". And, yet, we continue to attack people over the slightest perception of wrong doing.
