Rather worryingly this got flagged and killed. Hopefully we're still at the point where we can sensibly discuss a WSJ article.

Flagged and killed? I just got here through front page. I know you like being a victim, but you are not.

This comment breaks the site guideline which asks: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." At the time the parent was posted, it was flagged off the front page.

Worse, of course, is the personal attack. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't do it again.

Thanks. I was slightly taken aback by that response. Especially because I'm probably not the straw man that the comment was directed at.
