I have had the rather serendipitous opportunity to receive my very first flags evar since I first replied to your comment.

I confess to first feeling some shock, as no matter how inflammatory my bloviations had been, I had not before been flagged.

However, I did actually come to view it as a positive thing - which is really, really weird and counterintuitive. I was flagged by a 'professional flagger' who was trying to censor my views.

I consider it a badge of honor =D

Anyway, just here to eat my earlier words =p
