I find that ironic, considering any attempt to pretend Hitler didn't exist is, in itself, a political statement. The statement that Hitler quotes are not to be relegated to the "offensive" file just because Hitler said them is about as anti-political a statement as one can make. It basically means "I don't care about your political sensibilities. Quotes will be judged based on whether they're interesting, not whether you have some kind of political problem with them." It's more succinct, though, and makes the very clear point that people should stop trying to get Hitler quotes moved into "offensive". > > grandmother also has some interesting things to say but you don't put her > name on the front page of the Fortune program because it's not appropriate. > Same thing here. Just not an appropriate forum. What Hitler said wasn't placed on the FreeBSD fortune page, either.
