Re: Remove fortune quotes attributed to or providing admiration of Adolf Hitler [pr bin/52735]



At times I thought of suggesting to draw this up to a close, perhaps move a few quotes to the offensive section to placate the PC brigade, but it seems kinda nice to follow this dialogue, which while presenting opposing opinions is still being held in a very civilised way... 

Cheers,

I think it's a notion invented to avoid offending people, by people
who themselves like to avoid confontation. Which masks facts and true
debate.

Respect for someone doesn't include agreeing with them. This is what
is missed in political correctness.
