Are you kidding me? As mentioned before, virtually every swearword is freely used on broadcast TV (the standard for censorship) including the F-word.
I guarantee you every person (incl. ladies and minors) who is on the internet browsing these forums is not offended by these words, they're part of daily life. Just because they were offensive back in the 60s, doesn't mean they still are.

But at the end of the day, ya, its a private site and whatever the owner wants will rule the day, but doesn't mean we can't have a debate over it.

I think there should be a filter for the F-word, and then everything else is up to the mods discretion. (To maintain a level of civility). Posting the s,b or other words shouldn't be filtered nor subject for infractions (if they even mean anything).
The F word has never been freely used on broadcast television. You can hear it sometimes on Canadian broadcast channels but never freely as in uncensored Hell's Kitchen.

They are a part of daily life but not acceptable in every situation. Some places require a certain level of decorum and this place is one of those.
