What happened to this story? It's not marked as "flagged", but it cannot be found in the story listing. Is there some sort of shadow-flagging in HN now?
HN has an automated flame detection system, probably based on the number of up and down votes, or language used.
72ha99ahsbc7's comment is [dead]ed. Everyone should enable the setting to see [dead]ed comments. Not rarely those are the best.
You can only check 'show dead' option on HN to be exposed to what others have deemed unworthy to be heard or touched by key-presses.
It's funny that for 10+ years I didn't work on accumulating karma because of some 'what are internet points good for?' nonsense. I should probably reconsider that frame :)
