Thank you for explaining the flag. As mentioned in the post, I have paid him 0.02 BTC out of my own pocket and wanted to upvote this comment with a full vote to thank him for spending the time to comment on this post even with his busy schedule. That brought it to around $7. It seems others agreed and voted it up another $10. If the comment was made by someone you support, do you think you still would have flagged it?
I don't abuse upvoting worthless content and this was a rare exception for me to give a full vote to a comment. Either way, thanks for explaining your flag.
