My guideline is not what I consider good or bad, but what the auto-swear-bots allow. If it's censored by the site, then it's on "the list". There are words I would not use in normal talk that get right by the bots, so they are tolerated. I still remember when someone complained about Jim using "Bassum", and that's just getting around the language rules. Somebody else had to point out that "Bastard" is not a prohibited word, probably because it originates as a very legitimate word, it you'll pardon the pun.
If it was up to me we'd all talk like church deacons, except for the part where I don't use that kind of language in polite company, but if my computer messes with me? Look out!
I hope that helps explain it. If not, then #(&%@^^$*&#!*!!!
