You can turn it off by re registering (I think that is how you do it) and changing your settings.
Its default is on.
In the confirmation step asterisks will automatically appear. If they don't then you won't get blocked for using that word unasterisked. Though there may be a bit of haggling because 'Dick' can be a proper name or used in the other sense...
Anyway Atticus was making a statement about what he perceived to be the 'babysitting' nature of the system by turning it off and inserting his own asterisks.
Either he forgot to asterisk or he did it intentionally. He was told before that if he forgot to asterisk he would face the consequences and it was his decision to turn it off.
