You're stereotyping then. Thank you for the perfect example of such. You're free to do so of course, but it cheapens the argument. Not a criticism, just fact. We are all guilty of the same from time to time. Just don't be lazy and refuse to back it up with documentation when asked otherwise it all just looks like sour grapes. Best to steer clear of stereotyping in the first place, but that is a difficult habit to break.

PS If I want to type h**l I will.

If it's an inappropriate word, inserting a couple of *s doesn't make it appropriate.

Yes it does. Hell and H**l are two different symbols carrying different logical weights, though perhaps sharing a common root. We all feel the difference when a guy goes "Aw shoot!" as opposed to its harsher relative. Words carry value. I just used the term "harsher relative" to refer to a certain word. What you suggest here is that I might as well say the word outright. That is obviously absurd.
