The problem I have with your argument is largely that you are alluding to some deeper reason why the censorship filter should exist, but you are not saying what that reason is.
The point of censorship is to prevent it from being used at all, but people circumvent that, so...
Why would we keep something that people work around all the time, and which hardly ever gets brought up in the rules, save when someone is angry in PMs or something?
I think that everyone here is willing to simply work around the filter if necessary, but the expression that people are making is that if working around it is fine, then what is the point of the rule at all?
I would also like to respectfully request that you please stop writing your posts with the assumption that we are simply unwilling to accept that we can write and understand words with a strategic asterisk placed in them. I think that's why people feel like you're talking down at them. There's no need to be aggressive, or defensive for that matter--which goes for everyone.
