You didn't engage *at all* with the topic of the post. You 
dismissed it with one sentence:

Then you went on to talk about something else, in an attempt to 
change the topic completely - something that's the case with 100% 
of these posts. Either engage with the post, start your own 
thread, or post somewhere else. That's the way they do it most 
places on the internet.
