  • Blogs, Profanity and Editorial Integrity [View article]
    I'm a top contributor to SA, and one who occasionally uses profanity. When I do so, I do so deliberately, and I don't want to be censored, and I CERTAINLY don't want my "fuck" turned into "f-ck" or "f*!&" or anything like that.

    As Mick might remember, I objected to this happening back in September, and SA went back to publishing the full word in this entry:
    seekingalpha.com/artic...

    That was the right thing to do. For me, it's simple. You have three choices:

    (a) Publish what I've written.
    (b) Don't publish what I've written.
    (c) If you want to publish something I haven't written (eg "f*ck") then ask me first, and I'll probably say no, and you'll have to choose either (a) or (b).

    If you choose (a), you will upset the likes of The Simple Accountant. If you choose (b), you won't. Your call. But don't publish something under my name if I haven't written it and I don't want you to publish it that way.
