Methinks the word filter is a bit overzealous.

OK for the record, I strongly disagree with the concept of having a profanity filter period, but that's besides the point.

D@mn is a swear word? Seriously?

Granted, the nanny filter is a bit harsh, but let's look at the fact:

If you can't debate a point, without filling your post with profanity, your "debate-fu" is weak.

I can absolutely debate without resorting to profanity. That wasn't the point.

The point is that it recognizes dámn as a swearword. You're seriously telling me you guys censor words not even the FCC sees fit to censor?

Spanish trick. I used an accented a, which is not recognized as an a by the filter.

Crap that da mned is a swear word because it's part of a song and I can't type it in to the 'What Are You Listening' thread without it coming up funny...

Some might think it necessary to swear to get your point across. I sure do.

Be careful. Defeating the filter through little tricks like that can earn you an infraction or two. Some of the mods around here don't take kindly to that.

I wont argue against the nanny filter because I am quite sure its not going away BUT I will say there are times profanity is quite appropriate and can be used to create a humorous punchline, put emphasis on something, used in clever ways and even used in a rather poetic manner ....not that most accomplish those goals when they use it, but I had to interject that there are times I do think its the best and most accurate way to express oneself or to get a point across.

Trust me, profanity has created some of the BEST laughs I ever had and are included in the most standout historic moments of my life (and most likely most who were present! LOL)

I therefore have quite a fondness and even reverence for profanity

Well, even the moderators question which words are on the filter. However, the fact is: The owner wants it. The owner dictates what words go on it. The moderators have no say it its implementation.
