How do I respond to this nicely without getting my comment flagged

People don't flag comments because of tone, they flag (and downvote) comments that violate the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). I skimmed your comment history and a ton of your recent comments violate a number of these guidelines.

Follow them and you should be able to comment without further issue. Hope this helps.

  • I feel like you completely missed the point of the rhetorical question.

    • It was a stupid question/post by me, I just don't know how to respond to "why should they not preference their own site? :)"

      Because... that's not how it should work? And it makes something of a case for antitrust?
