You do realise that anyone with the swearing filter on, has no idea what they can't (spelled carefully) say?
That is, indeed, a flaw in this particular philosophical debate. Worthy, I would have thought, of serious academic study.
Other forums transform certain words into something completely different. I know of one where a particular racist word becomes 'my little pony', which turns bigoted rants into amusing flights of fantasy.
HIAG you old perv - you can just go to www.pornolize.com and paste in this website addy (or any you choose) and you will get to see all the dirty words you can handle
The best worst example of filtering I ever saw was when a site changed all words for the female reproductive area into "hamwallet" I then tested how far this went, and promptly defeated said filters by coining the word ****bucket...
It would be great if, on this forum, the word "spud" was transmuted into the expression "the mighty Spurs juggernaut." That'd stop the Goonlets right in their petty-minded tracks, I can assure you!
It would be great if the phrase "Chelsea manager" was automatically changed to "that rich, unfortunate bastard..."
