Let me ask you this:
What good is it doing you to argue with me that this submission was of value, and shouldn't've been flagged?

This submission got the same treatment. It would seem, even trying to talk about change can't be done. A fair vote taken down.
And look, here is an item with 7 points and 22 (and now more) comments. Again, points/comments is very small, so it will disappear quickly.
And again, this discussion has very little actual value. let me try to summarise how it might appear:
* 14 hours ago you registered your username
* 7 hours ago you submitted an item that appears to have been flagged off the front page
* 2 hours ago you submit an item about how unfair that is, and how everyone should have instantly realised how valuable your submission was.
* Now you complain that your complaint is being flagged.
* When I explain about how things work, you just continually come back and say that it shouldn't be like that.
Well, that's how it might appear. Welcome to HN.

In this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5685591 you said:
... it seems to only take one person
to vehemently object.
Or if it's moderators, they should re-think censorship as a reasonable action for posts that may not be to their taste.
* You saw value in it.
* A few others clearly saw value in it.
* Still others saw it as having negative value.
* The ones who thought it had negative value flagged it.
* They should not have done so.
* Something should be done.
Are you going to suggest what should be done?
>Well, that's how it might appear. Welcome to HN.
This is a dead submission. Censored.
You don't seem to understand the culture here, and you seem unwilling to try to learn. Meta-discussions are almost invariably flagged, because all too often other forums drown in a self-inflicted morass of navel-gazing.
Are you really surprised that people are flagging your complaint about how not everyone realized the value of your second ever submission? And now I see you've made another complaint.
I've tried to help you see how things work here, but you haven't yet even got enough karma to see the "flag" link, you appear not to have read the guidelines, and all you seem to be doing is complaining that people are behaving in ways you don't understand.
If you insist on putting your own uninformed interpretations on things and not listening to explanations from people who have been here five years, I don't know how to help you.
