Yes. Let's unblock all words. ALL OF THEM. let's even do a vote. "Vote to unblock all blocked words." instead of doing them one at a time (which is what we're doing anyway) just do it all at once.

It is not nearly so insane as you would presume. We are not allowing things like the F-word by unblocking them. We are merely removing the ridiculous censor that has proven time and again (with the blocking of words like "dick," "prick," and "jerk") to be inefficient and unsatisfactory.

In unblocking all words, we run absolutely zero risk of blocking a word that people may accept (or that is allowed in the first place, like "jerky" or "prickly pear cactus"), while still holding a zero-tolerance policy on swearing.
