Unfortunately, these kind 'fortunes' are not limited to the 'off' section, so this is not sufficient -- they also appear outside. I also already provided a patch for removing some of the bad fortunes, but it was rejected upstream. Even then, that was for only one of the fortunes, most likely there are a lot more bad fortunes that aren't contained in the 'off' section. I am not interested in going through every fortune to filter out the bad ones, so I will not prepare a patch.
