it was flagged because it was unnecessarily rude. nothing "funny" going on (with that comment chain at least).
i would note that it also appears to be wrong, reading laurie's reply, though i am not an expert. rude + wrong is a bad combo.
the next comment by jeffbee is also quite rude, and ignores most of laurie's reply in favor of insulting her instead. i dont think it is a mystery why jeffbee's comments were flagged...
