...are we still talking about ignorance? I've lost the line of thought.
Well, my comment could be interpreted to mean that I understand when mold or ignorance infects an object or thread or discussion topic or even website, sometimes certain people might choose to destroy or abandon the latter as a result of their innate repulsion to mold/metaphirc whatever. So, I was telling a true story, but by telling it trying to say I understand why metaphorically one might take what would be essentially similar actions. Minus the literal fire part.

I think the meaning was, people are disgusted by mold/ignorance and may throw an infected thing out even if there are salvageable parts, but maybe that isn't ideal.
