I know piss isn't considered very offensive, but I know from experience that once piss is unblocked, a few more words will be unblocked. Of course it won't likely reach the F-word being unblocked, but for at least half a dozen users I know, the next word to be unblocked is going to be too much for them.(Or, perhaps more accurately, their parents.) I don't think your experience is very accurate, because I don't see that being a problem in the future. As with the existing votes, any words that cause a legitimate concern among users or their parents will be opposed. What I mean is, I've seen many communities where members became lenient, and then as new users joined and older users left, the community started to tolerate pretty much anything.

There are several users who actually take offense at the word "Hell" and are told there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not in support of blocking Hell or prohibiting it, but I guarentee you we will still lose community members if we continue to unblock more words in the future. I have nothing personal against piss, it's just that I'm personally putting my foot down a little sooner.
