I'm just wondering if there are senses in which "fuck" isn't profane. I mean, it could be used to mean actual copulation, but AFAIK it's still considered slang/vulgar/profane even in that (original?) usage (even if the act may not be), so...?!? Anyway, as to the meta-point -- personally, I think it's fine to warn people of upcoming profanity, but it seems to fall kind of flat here. I mean, using the "fuck" in a warning about using the word "fuck" seems to sort of defeat the point of a warning. (Unless of course the writer is himself making a meta-point that I'm not seeing.)
