I'd second this report any time, if this is needed.

There should be no whitewashing of Twitter hate speech like the one on
http://phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/israel/
coming from freebsd.* domain. It has nothing to so with freedom of
speech etc, it's simply harmful for the project.

If you read my other email on this topic
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2019-May/073464.html
you might understand why "I hate X", with "X" a particular ethnic group,
in FreeBSD context is not a good idea.
