Censorship...
Many people on the internet nowadays operate from public places using public internet access which has an internet block on it. Many times, this website has been blocked because it "exceeds amount of intolerable words"... if you were to censor this (I think most message board systems have some sort of censoring tool) and replace it with a more polite or less noticed form of the word, it would be at the greater interest of people on this forum.
"Your stupid."
"My stupid what?"
"Y-o-u-r... y-o-u-apostrophe-r-e... they're as different as night and day. Don't you think that night and day are different? What's wrong with you?"

i know that some elementary school and junior high computer labs have things like that. i cant imagine public libraries would be that hardcore.

Actually, this is a web block called Symantec Web Security that I've got at home and that the mid continent library system uses.

libraries block content? I thought that type of censorship was thrown out?

I didn't think so... I think different library systems have different policy, though.
