David Hornik: What a Fucking Waste of Time.
The business community's jihad against swear words never ceases to amaze me. I was recently talking with an entrepreneur who had built a service that was populated by user generated content. In our discussion of his product, this entrepreneur went to great lengths to reassure me that he had built the necessary technology to protect against errant swear words finding their way into the content. And it struck me that I have had this exact conversation many dozens of times over the last decade. "Rest assured, no swear words will ever find their way onto our service!"

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
