What was uncivil about my comment? How does one judge a comment as civil and substantive? You've linked to something but haven't explained it.

- dang 9y agoNot sure how helpful this is, but on the assumption that you're asking in good faith: the problem with your comment upthread is that it was unsubstantive. Peace talks between the Koreas may not be the best story for HN, but to dismiss it shallowly with "It is pointless" and toss off one inflammatory detail in a hand-wavey way, is unsubstantive when addressing a new development in a major history. I'm not sure what's hard to see about that? it's a classic example actually. That is why we have that guideline among others.
