I'm not sure why you should decide how other people are allowed to speak. Could you explain where your moral authority originated?
I’m fucking sick to death of people being sanctimonious dipshits and acting like self censorship is somehow the moral high ground. It’s not that you’re not swearing, you’re just putting the weight of the swear on the reader which is disingenuous and still swearing. I don’t care if you want type out fricking/fudging whatever cleaned up word you choose, but to type out f*** makes you look like an immature moron.
fart.
Ranting at people like a 12 year old on Xbox who just learned to swear does not sell the "I'm more mature" image all that well.
If you want to self censor then you're allowed to, just as people are allowed to mock people for doing so.
You're allowed to censor other people if you want to, just as other people are allowed to mock you for doing so.
You're are allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. You're not allowed to bitch like a child if whatever you're doing will provoke the reaction that might be unpleasant to you. That's how community self-regulates. One idiot says "unalive", someone else tells them that they're a fucking idiot, they don't want to be called an idiot, they don't say "unalive" anymore, that's how it supposed to work.
You're bitching at people like a child because they don't talk the way you want and acting like you're the exception. You sound like a squeaker on COD.
