I'm sure most other people here already realize this, but our swear-filter isn't going away any time soon because of the google ratings this site gets due to its implementation. There may be some words currently filtered that could be a candidate for unblocking, but in the overall scheme of things, we'll just have to understand the reasoning behind it and not view it as an attack on liberty or some kind of governing moral standard.
If the price of using this free forum of which the owner spends money on is to accept certain mechanisms integrated into his forum, then that's something we simply have to deal with until other options are available, regardless of whether they seem asinine or not.
Plus, the filter doesnt block specific discussion of Herbie Hancock, just the last four letters of his name. Unfortunately the swear filter is not that advanced to the point it can actively follow discussion. Shame.
