Double Standards???

A Question was posed "why was the abuser who used WTF not deemed to fall foul of 'swearing rules'?"
and the Answer by the Spare ED was
“Because "WTF" doesn't have any of the offensive punch of an actual swearword, it is already sterilized and, as it becomes more used, it seems to less be saying the words that make it up and more a direct expression of its meaning.”
Surely the only reason the abbreviation “WTF” is used is there is no way (assuming the automatic censor is working) the full F-word would pass? It is <B>not</B> a case of it being sterilized and <i>if</i> it is a case of the more it is used the less it is saying the words that make it up, why do you not go the whole hog and have no censorship at all in order to reduce the impact of ANY profanity?
You have removed a username because of its sexual connexion when you admitted you originally had no idea of that fact and yet you continue to allow a widely known abbreviated phrase containing the F-word.
How can you justify these actions?

Okay, what about "By Golly Gosh," or BGG for short? Has the correct meter.
Thanks for weighing in on this one Vibra, was waiting for you to show your face! Quite like WTBB "What The Blue Blazes." Any further votes for this new runner?
Interesting Daffy, but I don't think we'll get a great deal of stick for it. It is very far removed!

Blue blazes or crikey for me please... Or 'now then, now then, now then, what's going on here'...
My trip was great love but there were several mishaps on the way (booked ticket for wrong date, had to buy another one, set the beepy thingy off and got felt up, had to run down and check in properly as my e-ticket was being a bugger on return trip)... But I loved Edinburgh. Unfortunately, I went with a fairly bad cold and it got a lot worse with three days walking around in the rain and cold. xxx
