I see people ***ing out part of their cuss words here. I presume that means we have a language filter? Really? On a STEPHEN KING website?!? LOL

There is a language filter as we do sometimes have younger members. Also because Stephen's name (& this website) may come up during the course of research for school projects, we just prefer to err on the side of caution. 
Normally I object to any and all forms of censorship, but not here--I rather like the fact that folks can't cuss up a storm. See, I've did other sites like this (sorry, SKMB, you're not my first, *blush*), ones that had free reign to spew whatever filth comes into their head, and what you wind up getting is just a bunch of confrontational snarky a-wholes (mostly kids) just waiting to rain down upon anyone making any kinda comment about anything. Nothing intelligent gets discussed, just a load of brainless frat-humor cruelty.
Well that's not the way we do things 'round 'ere, issit?

As embarrassing as the fact might be to us adults there's something attractive about self-control in speech.
Honestly? It's lucky that there is because my mouth... needs this:
Maybe, but you don't spew it here. Your fingers aren't out-of-control speech instruments. "Bad" words have their place in society, imho, but they can too easily become just another obnoxious bad habit impinging on what an intellect needs to say and learn. Also, they seem to tend to feed already inflamed emotions; their use can be like the opposite self-control.Honestly? It's lucky that there is because my mouth... needs this:
...oh %^$# &* RAT!...and furthermore %$!@#$*&^%.....

Self-control in general is highly attractive.
I think it takes imagination as well to not just jump to the F word. It's a long time since I had virgin ears but I do appreciate not reading constant bad language.
This is a bunch of f*cking bullsh!t is what I think...
I had no idea there was a filter on here. I use the *** for the simple fact that there are kids on this site and it's not my place to expose them to my potty mouth. I do have one, oh, yes, I do!!! I'm not a prude but I don't like it when I do come across cuss words that haven't been edited for younger eyes. *hint-hint*
Oh, n_n. This made me laugh so hard...and that was after returning to work after 5 snow days and springing forward. Now, that's funny.
I'm glad, danie - I needed one too. I am going to go count now.I going to go count myself.
