First, the cleaned-up version of "asshole" isn't "assh*le," it's "a--hole." You have to censor the heart of the cuss word. Otherwise, it's like you're saying, "Go fu-k yourself," which leaves too much intact. Unless you're Vice President Dick Cheney, in which case you can let 'er rip on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
Second, I never meant to be the official Comicon defender of the morse-code method of censorship. Somebody else originally used "a--hole." I just quoted it and Charles asked me about it. Usually, just to be polite, I try to avoid even dash-dash cussing, because you're right, "mother f----r" doesn't leave much room for doubt.
Third, everyone here who mocks me can go take ---- --- ----- and shove 'em -- ---- --- with a ------- of your -------- ---- until --- ---- ---- ----.
Have a great weekend!
