The Swearing Filter

This has been bugging me for a while. I swear a lot, and frankly, I enjoy it. It's a great tool to add new layers of meaning to a sentence and it's great fun. But let's Stephen Fry speak for me:

Do we really need the filter? I mean Damien Rice isn't too family friendly anyway, and some light swearing has no ill effect on any discussion whatsoever. This is a pretty small community of adults, who, I think, can be trusted with not flooding the board with a juvenile tsunami of ****s.

So, can it stop? Pwease?
