I disagree totally that censorship never works. Who are you to say this when you don't know the environment in which I am trying to censor? What if this was a chat system or guestbook for an elementary school web page? Would it be acceptable to allow the word ass?

I think not. If it's a business site I don't see how the word "ass" would ever come into play. And what about asshole? This should be blocked because no matter how you argue it, this is a swear word.

Same with the word fuck and shit, business sites or school sites shouldn't allow this. Are you upset with my fucking swearing? I only bring this up because someone wants this node deleted because you don't believe that swear words should be fucking censored.

No, I'm not mad. I'm just simply saying swear words are ACCEPTABLE to be censored but NOT acceptable to be said in most circumstances. And who are you to say what I can and cannot sensor on my web site? Isn't that sensoring what I'm trying to say or do?

I asked a question and most posters were nice enough to post solutions to the problem. There's always that one rotten apple in the bunch.
