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" :-)
