There isn't consensus, because flaggots exist. Her cautions to @americaurusrex are spot on, because if he did that to @berniesanders, he'd end up like @skeptic - or like @berniesanders himself, after @dan was through with him, and you know it.
She didn't threaten him, she warned him of very real dangers to his account.
Yea maybe I'd take that point of the danger of ending up like @skeptic (though, he's nasty af) if it wasn't couched in a rejection of the flags because of the content, not some objective advice.
I don’t think we need to get too bogged down with whether or not people demanding I remove my flags are being threatening or not.
For one thing, they have every right to threaten to flag me. I’m a big boy, I can take it. I think the broader point is that expending all this energy to convince me to remove flags, because my reasons don’t mesh with your vision of the platform, and making your vision of the platform out to be some requirement I have to follow, is not in good taste. Just like I’m sure you find my flags in poor taste.
I didn’t really take the response to my flags as friendly advice, but I’m happy to entertain the idea that that’s the spirit with which it was intended.
