You people are still having the same conservative-vs-sanity argument about profanity years later when you've failed to realize that you're writing stories based around a 13+ rated video game containing multiple uses of profanity and friggin' alien mouth-bursters, and yet you're trying to censor the uses of the same words (and a few others) to the point where people have been warned for saying the word arse before.
Why did I quit this game?
I want to write stories and shoot things in space, and not be limited by a hard-conservative stance on censorship of expressive language right out of the Victorian era that is so far the opposite of progressive that it gives FCC execs hard-ons. I want to be free to express myself in writing without having to worry that my writing is going to be removed by some uptight prick who screams "but think of the children!" every time s/he sees something unfriendly to the eyes of five-year-olds but is fine with the description of graphic and sexual violence. I'm sure others want to as well. Oh, and don't bother telling me that I can do that outside of here. Why do you think I'm not here anymore other than to call you all morons?
Yeah, that crud's all over the RP forums. But drop an F4 and you get banned for a month.
You guys are idiots if you think banning people for the word "bastard" is going to make the forums a better place.

PS: I don't recognize half of you. Looks like all the smart ones left already. I pity the rest.
PPS: Hey, anyone here play EVE? Add Desmond Palaam if you're interested in some highsec ratting. No censorship there, hint big obvious neon for-a-good-time-call sign hint.
PPPS: [9:45:47 PM] Jake (Thexare): This whole thing came up because I was thinking about returning. You know, give you all another chance, hope things had matured? Yeah, clearly that didn't happen. And yes I'm still sore about your silly equipment-based energy drain.
