My assessment is that your comment derailed it.

Have to agree with cess11.

Saying this is is so against guidelines to warrant being flagged is just an ultra pedantic view of the guidelines.

Maybe it is just a problem with different peoples use of language.

"You seem very protective of banks. Have they been particularly nice to you?

"

It's not pedantic. A comment like "You seem very protective of banks. Have they been particularly nice to you?" crosses the line into both snark and personal attack, which are against the site guidelines. The comment was therefore correctly flagged.
