Well that sounds like a workable plan for now. One thing I can say, when love happens there is not a #### thing you can do about it no matter what your mind says.

(Let's have a bet on how long it takes for "them" to edit me to "darn" or even worse "dern" )

I'm betting on "doggone"

I have to admit, I have no real comprehension of why we need a swear filter. When we say #### and darn, we mean the same thing. Changing f**k to flip changes nothing about the author's meaning, or even the reader's understanding of the word. It makes less than no sense (at least from a philosophy of language standpoint). After all, if flip = f**k, then saying flip should be equally offensive if the two words are truly equal. If F = K, then in all cases where F is unacceptable/inappropriate, K must therefore also be unacceptable/inappropriate.

Also, it's not the words that offend us. We can use offensive words in a playful and non-offensive manner. For example, the bartender may say "John you irish b**tard, how the h*ll are you?" and I may take no offence. However, if my religion professor were to say "John you're a stupid b**tard. You get an F," I have every right to get angry. The point is that both meaning and tone/circumstance are relevant to decisions on the offensiveness or lack thereof of a particular term or utterance.

I think I just severely overcomplicated this thread. This is proof that John needs to not type on the forum after drinking.
