    You don't, deliberately. Being able to see could lead to harassment of the (perceived) flagger, which is why it won't be added. Commented Nov 18, 2018 at 15:35

    But harrassing the flagger would also be unfriend and unkind, right @ArtOfCode? So someone being a jerk would just get another flag and poss. come to attention of moderators earlier? More efficient flushing out of jerks? 😁😁 Commented Nov 18, 2018 at 15:49

    @HarrisonStemple We aim to de-escalate conflict here. What you're describing is an escalation we wouldn't want. Commented Nov 18, 2018 at 16:01

    Don't agree providing information is escalation @Catija. If the person receiving the info escalates it by attacking someone they think flagged their comment, they need to be dealt with, but they would either have just kept providing low-level unfriendlyness that gets cleaned up after it's caused it's damage, or they'd escalate something else and a mod gets involved anyway. I think I read something in the code of conduct about assuming good intentions. I would apply that to letting people know their comment has been interpreted as unfriendly.

    @ArtOfCode "could lead to harassment of the (perceived) flagger" - Although is this any different to seeing downvotes on your answer? Commented Nov 18, 2018 at 17:58

    @DocRoot Downvotes aren't harassment. Commented Nov 18, 2018 at 19:56

    @ArtOfCode I didn't say they were. (Although I have witnessed downvotes on good answers, where the only reason for the downvote is to seemingly harass the author - but that's another thing entirely.) Commented Nov 18, 2018 at 21:19
