No, the flag is for the tone. Disagree with substance all you want. Don't write like a troll. Don't attack people personally. There are lots of other places you can do that; don't do it here.



Don't attack people personally? And you say this when the story itself is a back-hand masquerading as a book review / history lesson (72 points and counting)? Or by "tone" do you mean that I neglected to spread the attack out over 2400+ words, and research her ancestry back to the 18th century for any shred of "privilege" we may sully her with?


If you don't think the original article was appropriate, flag it. But don't stoop to its level.
