Honestly, this is just one step away from getting comfortable with the F-word, and I'd rather we either allow it all or don't allow it at all. Well that seems a bit like a false dilemma. We can't allow all words because lots of people wouldn't be allowed here anymore, so going at them on a word-by-word basis seems reasonable to me... Per^^^

"piss" is accepted in many more households than the F word. It's more like 10 leaps away from that than 1 step. :P But we're still heading in that direction. Who's to say in a year someone puts up a vote saying "Unblock the F and S word because they are the only words left unblocked?" if the wiki community is mature enough to handle these words, that's totally fine

That's not to say it's always a matter of maturity, however...

Some people have objections to words they find offensive. That doesn't mean they aren't "mature enough" to "handle" the words. If anything, it's immature to intentionally use words that will cause problems for users who have overprotective parents, especially parents who don't let their children talk to people who use those words on a regular basis. I'm not supporting the parents here, but there are at least a couple users like this that I'm always trying to be mindful of.
