I'm opposed to "profanity" filters in general. I've heard people declare different ideas of what constitutes profanity. Some might find the phrase "Jesus ****ing Christ" to be offensive but to someone else it isn't. Ultimately, the best solution is probably to ask players to consider others' opinions. If noone's offended, no harm done. If someone takes offense, the others should try to avoid future usage. But it also requires that the person who was offended remember that they have to give a little too. I knew a hypocrite who would reply, "Please don't use that name in vain" when people said "Jesus Christ!" in frustration yet had no problem calling homosexuals "faggots". If you want your prudish values respected, you should respect others. After all, if you can dish it out, you'd best be able to take it.

Take care,

Jason
