INFO_DART, Whatever you said it was totally censored and wiped out.
They say AMerica is the land of the rave and the home of the fee.
Well I believe in fee speech. I will give away most of the common words, but Adolph is a $50 word, and nazi is $100, and all the racist/offensive stuff will have a fee. The SI engine can easily look at each post and charge the fee of the poster.
Let Eric use those expensive words, SI will rake in the moolah. And the use of * or x to replace a letter will not count, it will still cost.
This cost based approach will soon have the desired effect.
They could even charge 25 cents per vowel, bt tht s dmb d nd fr n d nt spprt tht.

By the way , we are getting like those who tried to determine the number of angels who danced on a pin in the old days.
In effect SI will apply censure that is propertional to the offense. If a punishment is too draconian, people like you and others will speak for them as did indeed happen when they relented about Eric.
Some will find none to speak for them and so they will vanish for longer terms or permanently.
