>> what's on it is no one's -ing business in a professional context. > The age of self censorship :) I find this amusing. I would also like to know what you hoped to achieve by self censoring the word fucking in your message above. - HN doesn't block posts with any kind of "profanity" filter - You didn't spare anyone from the profanity, since we all knew exactly what you were saying/thinking So I'm really curious what that actually achieved.

That one amuses me because of a character in a (iirc) fantasy book that swore all the time but used just -ing everywhere. Sadly I don’t remember what character of which book…

  It's Mr Tulip, of Terry Pratchett's The Truth.

    Thank you! I was pretty sure it was Pratchett (but not which book and character) but I self censored in case i was wrong :)
