1. Maybe in the place where you live. I don't see how using the word "formal" makes RSPSS FR sound nerdy. Can he help it that he has a large(r) vocabulary?
2. This is not an argument in favour of being able to swear on the JCF as personal attacks are forbidden anyway. You would have to drop that rule, too (which is a stupid thing to do).
3. Then why do you say "2. where else would i "complain" about the people who annoy me if not beside them and their peers?"? Isn't that kind of the same as spilling out your life to people you don't know?
4. Some people post rap lyrics. They are partly censored because of their use of strong words. Hence some people might want to not censor those words so they can post uncensored rap songs.

There's no use to taking away the filter here. You can swear all you want, it just gets replaced by something else. It still feels like you've sweared. What's the use of not doing it? There is none. This board, especially the jazz-related forums, gets lots of visits from young people, and lots of people object to having swearword-filled boards (what would happen here without the censor). So there's no reason to cease the censoring of swear words.
