That's OK but what isn't OK is to take somebody elses post &
selectively edit it when quoting from it, like you have done to my
post.

You also failed to address most of my points.

Artur, it was meant to be ironic :) I haven't got the right to stop
top posting no more than you have.

And you haven't got the right to excise Hitler's name from FreeBSD
material. Don't you see the irony in that? When he banned certain
artists on the grounds of "decency" just like you're proposing to do.

Just because he was "evil" doesn't mean he and the rest of his
henchmen didn't have something interesting to say about the human
condition. If you don't believe me, read "Brave New World: Revisited"
by A.Huxley.

Follow-ups to chat&freebsd.org please.
