 * Some people on my website are using profanity and derogatory words, and I wanted
   to know if there is a plugin where I can edit this. Instead of a cuse word, maybe

 * Thanks.

 * Why the f*** not? What’s wrong with saying f***? If you’re a real f***ing programmer,
   you use that f***ing word quite a f***ing lot.
 * F*** F*** F***ie F***
 * I watch too much South Park. 🙂
 * Not sure if this works with the 2.3.1 version of wordpress but I’d give it a

 * Thanks for a fast response, but when I installed it, and tried submitting a comment
   with profanity, nothing happened.
