Static sites can do more than render text. Even collapsing comments on HN doesn't work with JavaScript disabled.
(Though for this particular website, I can see the text just fine with JS disabled in firefox, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for CaliforniaKarl.)
But everything else pretty much does. HN is nice in that one can read it (and comment) without JS.
If your comment was a drive-by sniping that made you feel good and has by now left your attention, mission accomplished.
