Personally I be sad to see it go...fortune has been around for a very =
long time and reminds me of more innocent days where a bit of fun was a =
given part of the game - I remember porting it to Minix once and I =
struggle to see what harm it can do - but then again I am an old git=20

Hi,

The FreeBSD project already changed its logo to be more friendly and I =
think it is sad when people misunderstand the FreeBSD's Beastie trying =
to attribute myself as a FreeBSD developer certain attributes.

Humor and irony is individual like Warner pointed out and some people =
will never understand it and take it literally instead.

By deleting the non-FreeBSD fortunes are we certain we solve a problem =
and don't simply move it somewhere else?

About offensive port names, how about "/usr/ports/print/removethedots" =
:-)
