Can you please stop using HN primarily for ideological battle? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. We therefore have to ban accounts that do it, regardless of what they're battling for or against.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Hi, this post is not about engaging in ideological battle. Actually it is to encourage curiosity and wonder. And I did not see anyone pick a fight nor is this egging for a fight.

If you say that was your intent, I believe you, but we have to go by effects (i.e. how the thread will likely react), not by the intent of the poster, which is not something anyone other than you can know. I can tell you for sure that statistically speaking, the outcome of a post such as that is overwhelemingly ideological flamewar. The fact that it didn't happen in this case is an accident.
