Which you can do with or without profanity.

I can't imagine why this would be the case and anecdotal it has not been the case with anyone I known (including those offended by profanity).

When you're talking about profanity, or quoting someone who's being profane, either put it in there, verbatim, or omit it.

Does quoting "That's f*cked" really put people's minds at ease? Seriously? This is as ridiculous as the Japanese censorship bars covering 0.1% of an otherwise outrageously pornographic image.
