Please don’t introduce off-topic flame bait on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're aiming for something better here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46255900 and marked it off topic.

It was relevant due to Python Foundation having to reject what used to be regular government funding because they started adding ideological clauses to it.
Fair enough but on HN we’re here for curious conversation not political/ideological battle. It’s fine to raise the topic as a point of fact, but the flamebait is gratuitous and takes it well into guidelines-breaking territory.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. Eventually we have to ban accounts that keep posting like this.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
