What is profanity? When I write, I tend to refrain from using many words that you might hear me speak from time to time. Even so, I'm not above using "hell" or "damn" for emphasis on occasion. I may have expressed frustration with a phrase like "pain in the ass" once or twice. I've even implied harsher words with acronyms such as "WTF" or jargon like "fsck."

I don't really think it's our job to censor people just because they use a word that we don't like or turn a phrase that offends us.

I have very little patience for the complaint that profanity is offensive. Profanity is not, afterall, an inherent quality. Something is profane only when one judges it to be so. Besides, no one is under any requirement to read the content here.
