> Apparently the auto-asterisking comes from the Merriam Webster dictionary, in which (for some reason) f*rt is a big naughty word. Oddly, cr*p and b*stard aren’t so bad. Go figure.
Could you check your autoasterisking program? When I looked up cr*p, it said it was usually vulgar. Shouldn't that make it part of the auto-asterisking program?
On the other hand, b*stard appears to be ok unless it's used negatively against another poster?
