I would appreciate if you could indicate which comment you feel started the flamewar. I'm sure this is where we disagree.

And it's rather naive to believe you don't read all comments through the filter of your own worldview.

Yes, everyone reads everything through the filter of their own worldview. That's a different sense of 'filter'. What I mean is that I'm looking for markers of guidelines breakage. Is it possible to scan comments primarily for that? Sure it is, especially if one has done it many thousands of times.

It's common for people to reach for the moderator's 'worldview' as an explanation for why they got moderated, but usually the explanation is far simpler and easier to see. In this case you broke the site guidelines by taking the the thread into ideological battle. Please don't.
