It’s not beyond your little point. There are many other words used instead of the C word. Do you want them all banned/scrubbed out?Oh dear. To my mind, what I am asking is so simple, really.I hear there are boards where you can exercise that "free speech" as you call it.Since I've heard plenty about both of those subjects here, I have a feeling there is more to it than "censorship," Mac. In other words, you most likely blew it.There is no excuse for all the vulgarities allowed on this board.
Who needs or wants to see that crap...it serves no useful purpose.
Many confuse allowing vulgarities with free speech...as in the powers that be will not censor anyone for having a potty mouth but will censor those who may have a political opinion that is not politically correct.
So thus in a sense I think the allowance of vulgarities is a cover for their censorship...as in let the children and dumbasses cuss all they want then they will believe we are for free speech and not notice how we censor out political opinions such as telling the truth about the horrible things done in the name of Allah, the fact that 2.5 percent of our population comitts over half of all the violent crime in America....etc. things that people really need to understand.
Could be-- but quite honestly I could not care less about that. I will always speak to things I think need to be addressed.
Most boards suffer from the fact that posters are too easily intimidated and thus they go along to get along. If people want freedom of speech(I refer to real freedom of speech) they will have to stand up and fight for it.
But I digress. I appreciate that you agree vulgarities are not a "free speech" issue.

The Supreme Court has never interpreted freedom of speech to include obscenity, which is generally considered to fall outside the protection of the First Amendment. But the debate over what constitutes obscenity and how it should be regulated has long troubled Americans.

Front hole is being used as an exact replacement for a banned word I won't repeat here again. To me it's sensible to rub it out if a mod should stumble upon it.
Now we're embroiled in free speech and definitions of sn*tch and what is obscenity and all this other stuff that is way beyond my little point.
What about the word vagina itself?
How much time to you think the mods have on their hands???
Lol.
