Which was in reply to a question about why the thread was being flagged. This was not an unprompted complaint about an inappropriate submission, this was a reply to a question.
That is not true. If a user asks a question about the rules or the validity of a post/flagging, it's fine to discuss.
You don't like the fact that I'm criticizing this thread, which is fine, but stop trying to cherry-pick silly reasons to discredit what I'm saying. It's having the opposite effect of what you intended anyways.
That is just your opinion. Rules are clear on this:
Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site.
As you can see, no additional caveats are listed. Therefore you, by responding to a comment which was about incorrect flagging, complained about inappropriate submissions, directly violated the rules.
Your last paragraph is basically just ad-hominem.
I'm ending this "discussion" here and will not be reading your inevitable further comments.
