If people flag civil, substantive comments just because they don't like them, that's an abuse of flagging, and we eventually take away their flagging rights.

Flagging is for posts that break the site guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Thanks for this.

So was my comment flagged? And does this count as an abuse of flagging?

No, we collapsed the subthread because it's off topic.
