This comment is interesting because it provides zero examples on how the article is meandering, how meandering is a bad thing in writing, and how the article fails to reach its point.

Such criticism cannot be considered actual criticism. It is rudeness wrapped in, as said by this user, “a word count and [getting] out the door.” This user clearly had no interest in wanting any improvements to be made, just to drag down an already extremely small writer.
