There are obviously bad comments, which most people agree are inappropriate but I think the problem is that there are another set of comments that the HN team thinks is inappropriate but a significant portion of commenters think is clearly okay. So I think informative examples would point out comments that many people think are okay but that the HN team does not.

Someone writes a detailed technical blog post and submits it. A few comments are about the content of the post. And then someone makes a comment about the blog CSS or the framework or javascript, wothout mentioning any content of the blog. I get the impression that HN doesn't want those type of comments here.
