I suggest the following modification to the patch: The speaker of the quote + is not to be the basis for categorizing the quote as offensive.</p> + For example, categorizing a quote as offensive merely because + Hitler said it.</p> <p>Examples of offensive entries:</p> The resulting text is much better than that we do have now. However the new patch contradicts with the Description at this PR. I'd rather insist on the first variant. +1 in full agreement with Boris and his suggested change. Attention is diverted unnecessarily from the Fortune program to a politically charged topic.

Log:
- Reword a paragraph to be politically neutral [1]
- Reword a part with the word poignant so that non-native English speakers
can understand it without a dictionary [2]
- Remove the non-offensive list as everything belongs to this category which
does not meet the conditions of offensitivity [2]
- s/will/may/
- Whitespace

I've always had a feeling that the FreeBSD team stays away from politics. There are many people that influenced the man's history. Why we should point at one of them? If we are really out of politics then we shouldn't. And now I prefer to shut up and code. Fix: I propose the same meaning but at non-political manner for the Fortune File Commit Policy (official FreeBSD site).
