What the F*ck?

The title of this post makes my point. Since when does putting a * in the middle of a swear word, like you see in this article, make the swearing any less visible? Is there really a difference between "c*nt" and "cunt"? Ask women if one is more offensive than the other, please. What's the point? To keep from being filtered by some software, perhaps? If you're typing "c*nt" kids behind parental filters shouldn't see what you're writing either.

I find this applies to offensive words in general. A particular example is using the phrase "n-word" to replace the word "nigger" ("f-word" to replace "fuck"). The "cleaned" phrase still clearly indicates the expression intended.

The lack of tabs in Safari has prompted several people to declare "now that I'm used to no tabs, I find I don't miss them."...

I think you will find he was being funny. Knowing David the way I do, I really doubt he cares if people find what he writes offensive as they are only a click away from going somewhere else. I am one of the site editors and if strong language is appropriate to the article, we have no problem with it... for example I used the word 'fuck' in a recent article myself. Not such a big deal really.
