Because HN is about technology, and original link is about social issues. Tech-oriented people are famously bad at dealing with social issues.

downvoting is one thing. flagging is another.
the HN community wants to discuss this issue (37 points / 65 comments). One guy (234000 karma) doesn't.
This is not right and it's making HN a worse place.

I think so too, but It's not a strong opinion from me. Some things are offtopic. The problem is that there are no other good discussion places to discuss this. Maybe it's because such topics attract a lot of people with strong opinions who don't engage in good-faith discussion (I'm not talking about you or that one guy).

I think one guy flagging is not enough for article to be [Flagged].
One or two people flagging is enough.
If I'm mistaken, the mods can clarify how many flags does it take to bury a post, and if there are people with special flagging rights or if karma plays a role in flagging.
