Predil, I don't want to start an argument here, but I seem to be missing your point. IMO, standing on a corner shouting profanities falls a bit short of "fighting censorship." Seems to me it is merely an example of deteriorating values and lack of responsibility for one's actions.

Censoring ideas is one thing; enforcing acceptable standards in conversational vocabulary is something else again. Here on SI, we're supposed to be articulate enough to express ourselves without resorting to obscenities. For people who can't talk without profanities or using the word "like" three times per sentence, there is always Yahoo!
