What an uncharitable interpretation of my comment!
Stories like this get flagged off the front page all the time. I'm happy to see this one hasn't, because it is formally interesting (even if the subject isn't germane to HN).

But ignore the meaniepants bit - the commenter has a point - "I flagged, then I unflagged it [etc]" is unintentional drama-generating fluff. You could have just said "The title makes it sound like a purely political story but it's really a Mike Bostock thing and worth a read"
