Certain people don't want to see certain words... that is why we have custom filtering. If we allow someone to type dvck instead of duck... it defeats the entire purpose. AND most importantly, it's an asshole thing to do.
Why is it an asshole thing? Because that poster is taking it upon themselves to FORCE someone else to see their words when that other person has gone to the trouble to use the system we have in place to avoid them.
That FORCING behavior is what pisses me off. It's inconsiderate and douchey.
If "bad words" bothered me I wouldn't allow them at all.. they don't bother me... but I have the decency to respect OTHER PEOPLE who may feel differently.
This concept isn't hard, you just have to think OUTSIDE your own sensibilities for a second and it should be clear why this bothers me.
TO ME, circumventing the filter is far worse than ANY petty personal attacks. If you are being attacked personally you have the option to ignore a user or man up and attack back.

There's custom filtering? Tell me how to get there and how to use it. I no longer want to see curse words or profanities as I am getting back to how I used to be. Straight edge.
