[quote name='magilacudy']Heh. I guess I'm the only one to approve it so far. So far as ASS is considered, its not really a curse or as bad as that... I think as long as the word and similar exists people are going to use it.
Personally, I don't use it that much on here, but I can name a couple of people who run their mouths so to speak. People complain about it not being civilized here, but as long as you keep using that word its not going to be civliized.
Cheapy's not blocking out our whole posts (I don't think its going to come to that either), but if thats seriously the best word you can come up with you should read up on the dictionary/thesaurus/or just don't type at all.[/quote]
See, here's the problem with censoring it as I see it. Basically, it's like taking a piece of crap and calling it candy. No matter what you call it, it's still a piece of crap. So, taking the real word and changing it into
is just lame. Obviously everyone knows what it stands for, and it the censorship just gives the post an artificial feeling. Like a 10 year old kid was typing it, and wanted to replace the letters as not to use a "curse word"...
On the Dictionary/Thesaurus part of the quote, people do that already. Any newb can go onto dictionary.com, type words they want to use, and then use the smart ones. All this leads to is dumb people trying to look smart.
