Youre either swearing or your not, you cant part swear!!Putting asterisks makes it less offensive to me psychologically. You start reading and the second my mind sees them I block the rest of the word out and just mentally insert the word 'swearing'. If the sentence doesn't make sense without context I can go back and fill in the blanks to figure out what the context is.
I think, like in reality, there are degrees of swearing too, cussing isn't as bad as peppering your sentence with expletives.
It's just a way of swearing when you don't like it and justify it to yourself. Still naughty but marginally more acceptable to normal swearing.
It works for me anyway however poor my excuse.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
