bpm140's comment is extremely unsubstantive. It contains just vague insinuations. I clicked through to Aporia's contents page and couldn't figure out what bpm140's concern was.

The topic of the article is divisive, so according to the guideline you came up with, comments should get more thoughtful and substantive.

I am sure you can see why I reached the conclusion that bpm140 was not familiar with the guideline.

There's a chance I'm missing something here and, if so, I would love you to help me out by pointing it out.

I'm not saying you have to find it persuasive. I agree with them, you don't have to. But the guidelines don't demand that they say more than that, especially when the thread already makes it pretty clear where they're coming from.

Sorry, I'm not following. What is the substance of bpm's comment, and where is the thoughtfulness? According to your guideline it needs plenty of both, but I see none of either.
