text: censorship? why cant i write fuck, or shit or bitch?  whats up with the censorship & what happened to freedom of speech? you have a right to free speech.  you do not have a right to an audience.  you are a "guest" on yahoo and must abide by their rules.  they are concerned that such language is inappropriate for some of the readers here (children, etc) and to protect them, they have banned certain words, subjects and actions.
