Fucking stupid.
2 things..

1.. the software is automatic.. it doesn't differentiate between a partial word and the word itself.. If you don't like it, take it up with vBulletin..

2.. you don't own the site.. the admins and supermods have chosen what words need controlled to have some level of control over the quality and "decency" of this site. Blocking those words keeps threads from degrading into a level of abuse and usury they find unacceptable. If you don't like it, find somewhere else to be.

You choose.
