Context on the altar of censorship

[janabard]

I've been reading a lot of scholarly articles online lately, but I came across both these beauts today:

"circumstances" spelled "cir***stances".
"...emotional buttons hit by..." spelled "...emotional button* *** by..."

SERIOUSLY???

I'm sorry; this just made me sporfle. Internet "profanity" filters just don't work.

Aaaaannnd... Context for the win!

I think it's weird that an article from a respected medical journal would have to go through that process anyway; it's not like they don't have *editors*! But I miss JSTOR.
