I've noticed that top comments on HN are frequently meta (about the article's writing or author, not the article content) or flat-out disagree with it more often than on Slashdot. Readers here also tend to actually RTFA much more often before commenting.

So HN commenters do RTFA but don't comment on TFA?

That's not necessarily a bad thing. If you read the article and have nothing to add, then best say nothing. Better than saying something about an article you haven't read, that's for sure.
