[This thread hath brought me to the ege](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106223&pagenumber=3). Okay. So you don’t like cursing, or your mommy won’t let you, or the computer net software (netnanny or something, I dunno) won’t let you curse properly. Hell, I’ve seen it so bad once that you couldn’t even type “drugs” without it coming out with some sort of cleaner-upper thingy (“dr\*gs”, I dunno). Here’s the thing, though: see if you can figure out what I mean when I type these words with slight variations. 1. f\*ck/fuk 2. sh!t/$hit 3. @ss/a$$ 4. B!tch/b\*tch 5. c\*ck 6. Tw@twrench Okay, so the last one was a joke. But you get my point, which is … It ain’t no secret what you’re typing! We know you’re cursing! So just sit up and do it right there! It’s like you’re afraid of cursing properly … so, what, you put little symbols in and that magically makes the curse properties go away? Look! FUCK! BITCH! ASS! COCK! DEMOCRAT! ::looks around to make sure nothing smote him while he was typing bad words:: Nope, still here. No burn marks on my ass, neither. And I don’t hear any sirens, so nobody called the cops on me… Could we please, if we’re going to use words, USE THEM? Abused asterisks make the Baby Jesus[sup]TM[/sup] Cry. \*Say it loud. I’m a FUCKING DEMOCRAT and I’m proud![/sub] ---

Democr@t? Yikes, man! Don’t ever use that word here again. What a foul and vile label to apply to a person. ---

I agree with you. “Fuck” and “F**k" are exactly the same word. Getting upset at one and not the other makes no sense. However, some people apparently do see a difference. So if I’m typing something that will appear in a forum (and I mean forum in general, not necessarily anywhere on the SDMB) where I suspect people will get upset with “fuck” but will not complain about "f**k,” I will use their illogical perceptions on the nature of language to allow me to swear like a sailor without getting yelled at. ---

If you don’t like how I type, then fuck you. Unless, of course, you’re an administrator, in which case… [Sean Connery] “I’ll play your game, you rogue.” [/Sean Connery] ---

True story-I once went to a chat room that censored “damn” but let you say “fuck.” Huh. Go figure. ---

Only minutely less annoying are the radio goobers who mute the 0.074 seconds between the “F-” and the “-ck,” apparently so listeners can delude themselves into believing that Trent Reznor is actually saying, “I want to _flick_ you like an animal,” or something. ---
