Bad!

A very difficult question to answer more precisely than that because if I write them here they will be censored (and trying to explain the meaning of the words wouldn't be a good idea either...)

The choice of words is simply those we find unsuitable on this forum.

I am sure that none of us needs an explanation about the "bad" words.  It is the nature of electronic communication that language becomes less formal and even casual and slangy. However, this is a forum about sharing ideas and the automatic censoring helps to  maintain language at suitably literate levels.  To share ideas a good level  of literacy is needed as the deconstucted language that abounds on many websites is not a medium for clear expression of thought.
I love this website.

When you type these words, are they simply blanked out or are they replaced with other words automatically?

Let's see if these words are censored:

Eminem
Rap
"House music"
Trance

Hmmm no such luck  ;)

What is wrong with House, Trance and Rap?! Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of classical music and listen to it most of the time, but it would be very depressing if they played Beethoven Sonatas at the dance club....

The Hammerklavier is not depressing, and Beethoven wrote dances!

Every style of music has it's place and (withe exception of some lame chart music) deserves to be discredited.
Don't tell me that there are no other styles of music which you enjoy because it wouldn't be true even if you sinsirly belived so.
Anyway man if you think other music is lame and has no skill involved you should check the latin pianists whos stuff is as complicated and dificult to play as the clasical if not more. God that stuff is amazing
