>Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys the curiosity this site exists for.

I don't understand how those two sentences are related. I've never heard a political or ideological battle explained as being "curiosity destroying".

Plus I don't understand why curiosity is the value of the community. Is it? There are so many kinds of values, and even a nuance between learning and mere curiosity. Recently black American experiences have been a conversation here on HN — if this conflicts with curiosity, then which is more valuable?

Or are we talking about the values prescribed by the proprietors of HN?
