This thread really has nothing to do with being scared of reading 'Hitler'.
The point is that folks could visit FreeBSD's website, reading "ah, so Hitler
is not offensive". Some folks would agree, some would disagree. Why would you
like to polarize in the first place?
Second point is, that Hitler is a politicial historical person. FreeBSD has
nothing to do with politics or history, so come on and delete that bloody name
of the website.
It can't be that hard, eh?
Regards,
Marian
