That's hardly my problem. If you feel you should be able to browse a certain website while at work, then you should take that up with your employer, not hoist censorship on the rest of us. Shouldn't you be working at work, anyway?

Where and when exactly has my communication here indicated that I'm incapable of expressing myself without the use of profanity? My intentions here have absolutely nothing to do with my own profanity usage and, quite honestly, I find it rather offensive that you believe my only purpose here is to gain the ability to drop uncensored f-bombs.

Quite simply, I'm morally opposed to censorship, and don't think we all need to be treated like children by default. If you want to enable the filter for yourself, then that's fine, but I don't see any reason it should be forced on people who find it both morally and practically irritating.
