Here's what I find offensive: writing f''ing or sh%^t or a##s or donke&&y or he double hockey sticks or whatever that 7th grade c^^p was. Everyone knows what is meant (scr## instead of F**ck)--- We all read the signs, know the words intended, accept the words intended, and COMMUNICATE what we need to communicate, even in the required encrypted form. It is inauthentic and dishonest to say that f'ing(i.e. fucking) is ok while "fucking" is not. To say aZZ is ok while ass is not. To say s&*t is ok while shit is not.
Well, you get the point. I could go on all night.
When I read the disguised (required encryption)
words a##, or Cr^p, or F&*ck on this site, I'm reading to myself , of course, ass, crap, fuck, and so are all the people who may or may not be offended by this language. What exactly is the point of allowing a## and not ass, when we all know what a## meaaaans? The people who find this offensive are still understanding what is being said----what, you think they're so dumb they don't know that f%^ck is fuck?
OOO, interesting typo. What does meaaaaaaans mean? What does F4L7Bu&& mean?
Sorry.
Back to the point. I'm offended by dishonest manipulation of language and the way that manipulation can and has been used over centuries
to oppress, repress, silence people.
Never mind. I see I've lost the juice and gist of my tirade, and I need to go to bed, and I don't give a Flying (I thhinkthat part's OK) you know what, blah blah blah
