What "community standards" did this comment breach?#12

This comment was censored by the Guardian. Which of the well-publicised CiF “community standards” did it breach?

The commenter removed the general criticisms of journalists, as he believed that might have been the reason his comment was removed (though we must note the criticism were pithy but general, and did not specify Guardian journalists as a group or as individuals).

His revised comment was, however removed for a second time. Interestingly he notes there were other comments about the White Helmets and the US Peace Corps left to stand, and he wonders if it might be his observations about the good quality of Syrian health care that proved unwelcome?
Anyhow…

• Does it “misrepresent the Guardian and its journalists”?
• Is it “persistent trolling or mindless abuse”?
• Is it “spam-like”? Or “obviously commercial”?
• Is it “racism, sexism, homophobia or hate-speech”?
• Is it “extremely offensive of threatening?”?
• Is it “flame-wars based on ingrained partisanship or generalisations”?
• Is it not “relevant”?

If none of the above – why was it taken down?
