It is uncharitable and I generally find your 'I flagged this' comments useful, despite being at odds with the holy guidelines.
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"
