 Wow, you guys really do hate the US! What a rude and inappropriate comment.
 My problem with comments like that is that all they're meant to do is
 insight hate. I was under the impression that you were a company. Perhaps I
 was mistaken. I'm from Canada as a matter of fact. I'm not trying to find
 something offensive. It is offensive. I think you're all getting distracted
 from my original point. I actually hadn't realized there were so many
 quotations in the database that were offensive. I hadn't been using it that
 much. You yourself identified one that you thought might be offensive with
 regards to French people. There's your starting point. I asked if you could
 remove some harmful quotations. You said no. Thanks for your time and
 attention. You have made your position clear as crystal.

  There is no such thing as a "NetBSD support team".  This list is fully
  public, anybody can speak up any time on any subject.

  People can be offended by so many things.  If the current US president
  had said anything quote-worthy, we could have added them, but then the
  grammar-savvy folks would have been offended.
  
  I'm sure I can feel offended by some of the quotes about French people
  if I put enough effort in it.
