No, we don't care if someone is "conforming to liberalism", we care whether they're conforming to the HN guidelines. It's common for people to think that we're secretly siding with their opponents when we do this kind of moderation (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), but that sort of perception isn't based in fact.
Liberalism is the root of this obsession with civility, while our countries get bombed and pillaged. If you ban polemics, you side with the dominant ideology.
As before, you compare similar handling of centre-left and far right politics. Good luck with that.
