It's called censorship!! And I have noticed they're going a little overboard lately around here. I've typed a few expletives, and usually they star them out for me. You can still tell what they are. Oh, well. I prefer to be able to say what I wanna say, and I will say it, too. If they want to delete it, that's fine. I just have to be true to my own opinions on things. So do you. Peace.

The trouble is the 'word police' are trying to please everyone, including those who constantly complain about swear words and profanity. But I agree, it gets a little overboard when certain words, which have several meanings, such as 'sucks', are suddenly wiped out.
I don't think there will ever be a truly happy middleground, because some people are super-sensitive to the slightest swear word, including even 'damn', while others want to be free to express their opinion or feelings with the occasional well-chosen expletive.
