It is perfectly possible to get an opinion across without swearing. Sure, it may take some more effort to write a good argument or rant without swearing, but it's usually worth it.

And let's not confuse editing to keep things family friendly (which nowadays is debatable - swearing appears to be the 'in' thing amongst the townies) with *true* censorship. Editing to keep things family friendly would involve removing the swearing and personal attacks. Censorship would be deleting all your posts, or editing them so what you typed isn't what others see. A pratical demonstration can be arranged if you troll on my lj.
