Richard--

What everyone is tiptoeing around is that there is a general ban on swear words, ostensibly for reasons of government surveillance (though I've yet to hear of a poetry site getting shut town for a "f%^k" or "s#!t" or a$$ or "I'd like to f%^k Shirley Mae in the a$$. Yeah, right in the s#!tter!"), but really, I suspect, a certain schoolmarmishness. Which is a bit indicative.

Hell, I got griped out via PM by management for writing "hell" a few months ago, a word that appears a hell of a lot in American prime-time TV programming. I mean, what the hell?
