I have already asked the question at another list but didn't get an
answer. As I'm not a native English speaker can someone say what that
phrase mean? As for me it seams like "Examples of enties that mainly
are not offensive: * Hitler qoutes".

I'd prefer to see someting like "Examples and entries that sometimes
may be not offensive: * Hitler quotes". But why the official FreeBSD
site should point an attention at him personally?

OK, let _others_ decide it after reading those quotes. But let's stay
away of the politics at the official site. Using his name _alone_ *is*
politics.

OK, I'll try to advice a simple phrase that has a strict apolitical
meaning and send it via PR.
