What I am getting at is at times when reading the comments I really have to dig deep by trying to figure out what the writer is bleeping. Otherwise the comments can be quite humourous.

Not sure if it shows a sign of strength or a sign of ignorance when other words could be used in place of explicits.

, not to mention the personal attacks that happen, and as I mentioned the ability to suddenly "grow a pair" due to supposed annonimity.

. . . How many different words can BLEEP mean? The annonimity of the internet has really caused quite a few members of our society to grow a pair.
Funny you should bring this up . . . on another board, I wrote something along the lines of "What the %$#! does this mean?" and drew a PM from a moderator chiding me for "abbreviated profanity." 
Funny, I thought that %$#! was acceptable everywhere, even in the funny pages of the newspaper . . . even a generation or two back . . .
I found out otherwise.

Do not play at work, around small children, Art's Grandma or Fistful.
I was vegging before the toob one night, in a motel room. I think it was in Provo, Utah, which will surprise you if you keep reading. There was a public access show in which a guy discussed all of the words that can't be said on TV. He claimed that he couldn't get in trouble for saying them, because he was actually using different words that were spelled differently, but just happened to have the same pronunciation and meaning. He went on like this for a good twenty minutes. There should be a punch line here, but that's it.

You should meet my paternal grandparents, my wife and her (my) pastor. They do not use darn, heck, gosh and similar "by-words," as they are simply stand-ins for damn, hell and God. And they have a point. I have pointed out that they shouldn't say "Oh my goodness," either, but they still do.
