    **** off

    Is it a bad word ? Whats the deal with it, look at father ted or something for fe`cks sake!

    You admins encourage us to use creative thinking when we feel a need to curse, e.g sh!t etc, and I would call f eck a much more polite way of saying ****.

    Not that I aggree with a censor anyway - but there is a need. Doesn't stop it getting on nerves.

    W illy is another one! Its persons name, and a kids, innocent word for penis or d!ck!, but then again d!ick is also a name...

    besides i think censorship is a healthy thing, especially when you want a site to have as much all-round appeal as possible, make it attract a broader market

    The concept of "riding someone's rocket" always seemed a bit dodgy to me anyway... the wording ls ambiguous to say the least...

    Oh and I agree f-eck shouldn't be censored... and neither should a-rse really.
