*shrugging*
I was bought up to believe the word f*rt is vulgar. It was "passing wind" in my house hold, and generally in my experience, people only use f*rt, as adults, when trying to be funny or vulgar.
The word f*ck is only a "natural thing" to do. But we all know to use a different word for it.
Dr Bon is using external software.. Its not HIS rule that says its vulgar. If he started making choices over which bans to over turn for the *'ing rule, then I know from experience, all hell would break loose in here. I am someone who is offended by being called a P*m as a rule. Just as I know many Americans who get offended by being called Yanks.
the rule is, if you over ride the auto-asteriksing, then you face the consequences. The moral of the story is, don't over ride it, then you *can't* be caught out.
