I don't think so. Your point wasn't complicated and I agree with a version of it, but your tone (there and here) is negative/insulting/inflammatory. Debate on social topics is frequently hostile, due to human nature, and often those pining for "debate" (using language that tells an opinion that those on one side of the topic are unintellectual and afraid of debate) are really just wanting to express their emotions as an outlet - i.e. they want the negativity part, not the debate part, or perhaps both. As I said, I think that negativity is why such things are more often flagged on HN than many other platforms.
