> Could you check your autoasterisking program? When I looked up cr*p, it said it was usually vulgar.
The thing is, the program can't differentiate between different senses of the same word. Which I think people already know... :-) Anyway, I think it's usually used in its second sense:
> Main Entry: crap
> Function: noun
> 1 a usually vulgar : EXCREMENT b usually vulgar : the act of defecating
> 2 sometimes vulgar : NONSENSE, RUBBISH; also : STUFF 4b
which is considered only "sometimes" vulgar.
> On the other hand, b*stard appears to be ok unless it's used negatively against another poster?
Right...
