    Maybe driven by it, but I’m on an established forum that just doesn’t allow swearing in an attempt to be “family friendly.” (Everyone on it is an adult, but whatever.)

    So when I repost stuff from here to there, I have to censor it. I think it’s silly, but it’s not the first forum I’ve been on that has mandated that.

      Replacing a letter with an asterisk is still “swearing”. Censorship, on its face, is ridiculous. If the “family friendly” forum allows “swear” words with one or more letters blurred, they’re mindless hypocrites.

      I’m sure you know this, not targeting you with any of my ire.
