Lewis,
If censorship is your thing, why don’t you start by censoring yourself.
What you are asking for here is offensive.

Hi, Giancarlo.
Well, no one wants to maintain a patch forever. I'd maintain it for a
while if there was a good chance it would get accepted at some point,
but if there's no chance, then I wouldn't bother.
I'm a little puzzled over the whole resistance to the patch. If I
wrote a man page for some software I wrote, and if an example in it was
considered off-color by someone, and that someone submitted a patch to
me to change it slightly to no longer be off-color to them, and they
asked in a kind way, and the patch didn't hurt the clarity of the man
page in any way, I would likely accept the patch. How am I hurt by it?
I may not agree with the person, but why would I insist on keeping an
example that seems off-color to them? If it's somehow offensive to them
and can be changed in a small way not to be, then I would accept the
patch to change it. Everybody wins--no big deal.
