Although I agree that they are just words, when you have a site/forum like this where it is accessible to anyone at any age, any time, well, we really need to keep an eye on what we're posting. If this was an adult only site then the idea of censoring what you post may not make much sense, but it's not.

I've always liked what my 8th grade English teacher said, "Your choice of language use is one of the first and most powerful impressions you leave on a another person. You can choose to sound smart and articulate or course and brash. Choose wisely."

If you can't express yourself without dropping a word that someone else is likely to be offended by then perhaps you have to look at what it is that you're trying to say.
