I would like to have someone either delete offensive* quotes from this
file on my server http://outer-court.com/quote.txt or provide me with
an CSV-like database of quotes (around 200 or more). Thanks!

*Quotes which are racist, sexist, speak out against religion, etc.

Hi Doogle,

Did you read through the whole file and remove the offensive comments?
The point was not in getting this data in CSV (after all, the
quote.txt file on my server as linked above already *is* CSV). Or
maybe I misunderstood you?

I thought that maybe you were just computer illiterate and need the
data off of the server to be able to use it. There is no way someone
can guess what you would consider to be offensive (racist, sexist,
against religion). Why can't you just delete the ones you don't like,
especially if you know there are 200 that you want? I would probably
keep the ones you wanted removed. ;-)

To clarify: you don't need to remove the ones I consider offensive,
but the ones many other people may find offensive. Of course this
isn't hard science, and there would still be some extremely fuzzy
choices, but it ought to be quite easy to delete quotes which would
read e.g. "witches ought be burned to prevent evil to spread" or
similar (people emailed me telling me they stopped visiting my site
because there were offensive quotes -- e.g. one about abortion). But
you gave me a good idea: instead of filter out the offending quotes, I
might just take 200 quotes I like. Thanks Doogle :)
