I don't see who states that.

Just wondering how old were you and "haters" were. In my childhood I was
laughed on because having too big ears, another girl - because she was fat,
and another guy - because his dad was an alcoholic. I'd argue that being
bulled by "jewish snout" words instead of "fatty" puts you in some special
position amongst these people and me.
Yes, the phenomenom is bad in its nature, but it is also so common and
insignificant, that IMO it doesn't serve all that fuss.

Because they always incite violence.

I'd like to hear how it is "commonly accepted". I don't remember accepting
anything related.

freebsd.* domain can be registered by any individual, so hate originating
from such domains can't (well, shouldn't) affect the project in any way.
On the contrary, hate originating from *.freebsd.org, it does affect the
project. Luckily, this is not the case.

Thanks for valuable information. It is completely off-topic and I doubt
anyone here have any interest in this.
