  So is euphemism-based censorship. :P

  Everything we say is part of the a language. Do you conclude that it's appropriate to say anything on here?
  - sarciszewski 12y ago
    Yep. We're mostly adults here, right?

      Even if we weren't, it's not like there are kids who don't know and use curse words.

        In Florida, it's actually a crime (though never enforced) to utter profanity in the presence of women or children. I was obtusely referencing this sort of mentality.

      And you can say any ol' thing to an adult and it's always fine, right? You must be loads of fun to work with, live with, or otherwise interact with in any way.

  Probably. Some feel uncomfortable/less-professional repeating profanity.

  It's not. People doing this makes me sad - the "expletive" is right there in the parent, you're not doing anyone any favors. It's just a word – a combination of letters. Noone should be offended by words.

I'm not sure what I should agree with? (I don't agree with the LE/infiltration argument against this dude; he obviously has no connection to any SR1 staff, that's part of the problem with using the name. The problem is entirely that he's stealing reputation and misleading everyone, which is something you can see for yourself on the Diabolus forums and elsewhere; after it renamed itself 'Silk Road 3', it got more traffic and people apparently think it really is more trustworthy than it is (which is 'not at all').) You should also note that I'm one of the /r/DNM mods and have criticized him for a long time now. If he'd just come up with a new name like everyone else, my only real beef would be that no one needs a new market, I2P is probably sabotaging himself, and he's an asshole.

  My comment was simply to support your view. I agree with you and was just adding specific comment-threads from reddit that support what you said. EDIT: Oh, I see. The "you" in "Do you agree with any of it" was actually directed towards all the other HN readers, not you specifically.
