This is untrue because you had a choice of not saying anything at all and carrying on (clearly not giving a shit) or take the time to leave such a comment (giving enough of a shit to inform everyone you don't give a shit.) So far this and Lloyd's is the only crying going on in this topic.
Is it not obvious that you can care about a post on HN without caring about the page it links to?
Back away from this specific situation for a second: If you would ignore something entirely if it wasn't being shoved in your face, complaining about it being shoved in your face and saying it's stupid wouldn't mean you suddenly "care" about the underlying item.
(And no, I'm not saying that an HN post is shoved in your face. It's a more extreme example to make the point more clear.)
