I understand literally what you are saying, which means that I understand the meaning of the language you have chosen to use, and the implications thereof.
I do not understand the motive and intentions behind what you are saying. I do not understand the context for why you hold this position.
I am not calling you unreasonable, I simply disagree. Please don't put words in my mouth. I simply want to understand why you hold this view.
If this doesn't make sense, then I'll try to come up with another way to put it.

Because that is not an argument, that is an opinion. I doubt it is even possible to discuss this topic rationally, in the end it comes down to whether the majority prefers to have the swear filter or not.
Personally, I'm in favor of getting rid of it. Swearing sure can be an important part of many roles that can be played in this game, and taking a lot of words away, or to at least censor them, seems unnecessary to me. And any distraction from the actual game, like having to consider which words need to be censored/replaced and which don't, should not exist, in my opinion.
I was also unaware that it is okay now to simply replace characters in a swear word to circumvent the filter, good to know.

Lazy is one word.
You is the other.
I've seen you make better effort before
prove now that you still got it or 'eff off boyo
Fair 'nuff?
this ain't flood after all.
Perhaps you don't deserve my effort. Just because I don't add paragraph of backing my statement doesn't make it any less relevant to discussion.
On the other hand, you avoiding swear filters in ooRP forums is a clear rule breach. Not sure what you want to do with all this but so far you are successfully coming across like a complete douchebag just like last time you showed up here, for which I believe you even posted apology thread that obviously was without meaning.
I've been swearing in story threads. I've also used words I don't use outside of story threads and abstractly described multiple sexual situations. The only complaint I got so far was from Kaze who suffered a flashback from a certain "Women are adventurous sometimes" line.

In the Colonial Marines SS13 mod the swearing is allowed and I don't believe it got overused in the roleplay. Sure the amount of swear words increased as the situation got more heated and the bodybag count increased but I do believe it added a bit to the authenticity of the situation. I highly doubt any lowly persona when pushed (along with the excrement) towards the fan is going to keep the language etiquette proper. I personally would prefer the swear filter removed from both ingame and forums but I'll most likely live if it doesn't.
