I think the comment you replied to was criticizing the "/rofl". These shallow reaction/dismissal comments really are turning this site into the hell-hole that Reddit already is.

Leavitt's statement doesn't deserve further scrutiny beyond shallow dismissal.

The top-level comment added nothing to the conversation that this site is supposed to be about. We are supposed to assume that commenters read thee article, and if they did, a LOL, ROFL, or WTF doesn't move the conversation forward.

The quote in the top-level comment from the White House is not in the article [1], so I'm having trouble understanding your point.

[1] right now. It is possible it was in an earlier version of the article.

This whole thread adds nothing to the conversation.

Downvote as you choose and move on. Maybe I ought to take my own advice.

>The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: civil and substantial.
