You flagged my comment even though it was arguably much less of an "attack" than what I quoted.

dang most likely didn't flag you.

Everybody can flag (just click in the x minutes ago link and you'll see that post as top leveel including a link to flag it).

I think dang and other mods looks for flagged posts in the backend.

That said: don’t abuse flags like some other people around here do (IMO).

Also: don’t argue with the mods. They have enough to deal with a few people on both sides :-/

Thanks for pointing that out. My apologies to @dang, then.

Having said that, that's a pretty lame feature to have, considering that there's no way to see what the flagged comment was. For posterity, this is what I said:

"I never switched anything. The conclusion that "there aren't as many high-IQ women" comes from "there is a higher variance in the distribution of male intelligence". It's been there from the beginning.

You have to actually follow the links I give and pay attention during reading."
