First of all, I quite enjoy Prophanity, but that may be completely off-topic ;) Secondly, I just can't grasp the fact that people are truely offended when reading "shit" or whatever FCC-banned-word. Maybe my mind is too simplistic to grasp this, but I personally don't care much for/get offended by what people say. Yet what does annoy me beyond belief is the censorship. Entire tv-shows, songs on the radio get "raped" by the beeps and slick inserted silences. And what does it solve? Would you be happier to read "Shut the ... up" instead of "Shut the fuck up"? Anyone with half a brain knows what word will fit the blank. I might be reading the wrong nodes, but I don't even see these words much over here at PM. Besides that, the world ain't perfect. It's a way of speech, which you might censor, but will not take away. I even think you encourage some to use more of these words in different styles (like "What the fsck?") just to bypass the filtering.
