Some of these quotes are harmless, but others verge on hate speech. We already had this discussion when they were added way back when, and the consensus was that we *shouldn't* have them. However, the person who added them was extremely vocal about them (and about what he perceived as political censorship etc.), so as a compromise, we moved them to -o. That person is no longer with the project, so there is no longer a need for such compromise. Besides, what I removed were not isolated quotes, but a complete copy of a copyrighted work, and therefore legally questionable. > It's supposed to have potentially offensive political, sexist, > religious, racist, and miscellaneously off content. If there is racist content in that file, it should be removed. The only people who think racist jokes are OK ("geez, they're just jokes, lighten up") are those who have never been at the receiving end of them and are incapable of empathizing with those who have. There is a word for people like that: they're called "racists". DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
