I would like to use "hell" in its appropriate context, and not have to bypass it, then get in trouble for bypassing a blocked word. Why are we talking about moving words to new block categories? Cant we just have a single list where all swear words have a X? I, personally, dont see damn (used like, "Damn, you") as being less worse than saying "F*ck, you". It's the same to me, and I'm sure others would agree. That's like saying killing is worse than hating, when reality is they're the same.


 * About to get religious, so if you dont like that, dont read on. This is for the Christians here, I guess*

I believe a majority of us here are Christians, and we're called not to be a stumbling block in a brother/sister's path. I believe that there are some people are not okay w/ the words in question (maybe only damn and piss, but whatever) being allowed at all. It's their personal belief that those words shouldnt be said, because those of the world say them, and we're called to "be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2 KJV). If a person struggles w/ swearing, and they believe that it is wrong, why are we being a stumbling block to them by allowing swearing in the first place? That's like drinking a beer in front of a fellow believer, who happens to be an alcoholic, and is trying to drop the habbit (I use that illistration not because I think drinking is wrong, though it is wrong to be drunk and addicted to it, but because growing up in church, we are taught that drinking is a sin). I, personally, dont believe that swearing is wrong, but I know other believers do, and I think we should take their beliefs into consideration.


 * Done w/ religious talk :P*

That's just my two cents. Take it for what it's worth, if you want. I personally dont care either way. It's not my wiki, and this isn't a democracy. :P
