and yet not allowed to show why??
for example s h * t, and f u * k, both have meaning in dictionary.com and some paperback dictionary and yet they are not recognized as words!?? Why

You are quite correct. They are shown in the dictionary, and they are real words. No one disputes that. The contentious issue is how and where they are used. And most of the usage on this site, and elsewhere, doesn't relate to the dictionary meanings of the words.
That's why.

The dictionary provides words and the defination of them words. yes, FOUL words would be in the dictionary . But ,is that a reason to use the foul word.Learn the meaning of the words so you can use the word the way it was meant to be used. Not in a foul way or cursing way

The context with which they are written may not be appropriate.
fu*k when used as an adjective is offensive and when referring to s h * t , unless you are explaining the condition of or lack of stool in a person's everyday life, then the word is commonly used out of context. Therefore the overuse and improper repetitive nature of their implications need not be referred to on this site. I do not object to their censorship, I support it! So f**k you!

For the same reason that pigs are not allowed in church.
They are perfectly fine, in the appropriate place, but that does not mean that they are welcome *everywhere.*
